Performing a left click at a pre-defined coordinate, in java

Question

I would like to perform a left click at a pre-defined coordinate with java. Is there a library for this task ?

Please notice that I do not want to implement a listener to see who performs a mouse click where in my application or anything of that sort, I simply would like to perform a mouse click.

Thank you.

Answer 1

There is no need for an external library, when java.awt.Robot can do it for you.

If the click should be simulated on a component of your own application, you could use Component.dispatchEvent(AWTEvent) to deliver the event. alternatively you could determine which component is at the given location and deliver the event directly:

Component c = mainComponent.getComponentAt(p);
MouseEvent e = new MouseEvent(c,MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, System.currentTimeMillis(), p.x, p.y, 1, false);
for (MouseListener l : c.getMouseListeners()) {
  l.mouseClicked(e);
}
