OpenJFX/Robot

This is a test bed for a public API of JavaFX's robot classes. These classes are for purposes of test automation, self running demos and other applications where control of the mouse and keyboard is needed.

Note: This API is unstable and subject to change. The code is currently intended for JDK 1.8.0_65, this will change to JDK 1.9 eventually.

Candidates

Glass robot:

• com.sun.glass.ui.Robot
• com.sun.glass.ui.Pixels
• com.sun.glass.ui.Application::createRobot()
• com.sun.glass.ui.Application::createPixels()

Scene robot:

• com.sun.javafx.robot.FXRobot
• com.sun.javafx.robot.FXRobotFactory
• com.sun.javafx.robot.FXRobotImage

Ideas

• The robots should be placed into javafx.robot?
• The robots should be named InputRobot (com.sun.glass) and EventRobot (com.sun.javafx)?
• Use a separate class for Image data and pixel Buffers?
• Robot interfaces should match FXRobot as close as possible?
• Use ints for coordinates and dimensions?
• Add flag for wait-for-idle functionality?
• Factory methods in javafx.application.Application or separate factory classes?
