Simple java input capture and playback tool

The attached java program can be used to capture input to a Swing program and replay it later. It needs the Java 1.3 Robot and AWTEventListener classes.

A few minor points...

Although it would be possible to capture mouse input, I have chosen not to (for reasons mentioned in the code).

The output is captured in a java file, Playback.java, which you must compile externally. You could easily capture the output in a script instead and have a Player program that executed the script - I prefer to be able to edit the java code.

I've put the code in the default package - which I believe is a sensible place for this sort of utility. Seeing as the rest of you all follow Sun's package standards, the default package is safe for me to use!

Here is the javadoc, the source code, and the byte code.
