Is there any way of getting an image from the system clipboard?

[Anil Vupputuri]

I managed to create my own clipboard, copy anything I like onto it, and paste it from there.
But...let's say I pressed PrintScreen, the resultant image is captured on the System Clipboard. I create my own clipboard and try to set it contents equal to that of the System Clipboard and it results in a NullPointerException. The previous problem with UnSupportedDataFlavor Exceptions has been cleared. But I still can't get anything other than strings and plain text from the System Clipboard.
Anyone have any ideas?]

I've done no testing of this but, Have you tryed

Transferable t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().getContents(null);
                          
try {
    if (t != null && t.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType)) {
        byte[] b = (byte[])t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType);
                            //create an image from the byte array
    }
} catch (UnsupportedFlavorException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
