Making a mouse click in Java?

[Alex Richards]

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to make a program in NetBeans IDE that can make your mouse click.
Does anyone have any idea on how I could go about coding this?

I can read that two ways:

I wish to make NetBeans behave as though a mouse had just been clicked within the IDE

I wish to emulate mouse clicks in some other (unnamed) environment

Can you make your question a little clearer?

(I can also read this as you want to have my mouse click, in which case: stay away from my computer! )

I would like to write a program that simulates a mouse being clicked. (In other words, I'd like to be away from the computer while the program makes my mouse click ).
I understand how I could write a loop to continuously make the mouse click, but I'm unsure of the code I would need to add in that loop to make the cursor simulate a mouse left-click.

And yes, I'd like it to be able to continue running, even if I had a different window open.
(For example, I'd like to be able to open up the internet browser and have the mouse still continually be clicking.)

I think you can do this with the class java.awt.Robot - look it up in the documentation.
