I want to begin developing 2d games. I have a lot experience in Java programming. I am looking for an 2d game engine that supports physics, support mouse actions and easy to use. I know Stencyl but I do not want to use it. An open source game engine can be wonderful.

it depends...for which platform you want to develop games?

if you want to develop for IOS for example, you want to use cocos2d with chipmunk(physics)

Slick2D is a Java game library with physics: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/. If you have some problems setting it up for development, this should help you: http://ty.gdcore.com/2012/08/09/setting-up-slick2d-with-eclipse/.

Another engine that seems pretty cool, but isn't Java, is LÖVE. It uses the Lua scripting language. https://love2d.org/
