1. A workstation comprising a system for generating a set of robot commands based on user entry events in a user interface, said system comprising:
- a Java language operating environment comprising a java.awt.Robot class that provides robot commands that correspond to particular user input events;
an event queue to which said events are sent from said user interface; and
a RobotCreator tool for receiving said events as those events are submitted to said event queue, wherein said RobotCreator tool converts said events into robot commands using said java.awt.Robot class;
wherein said robot commands ten form a macro which can substitute for user input events made using said user interface during execution of an application.

Abstract
A system for generating a set of robot commands uses user entry events in a user interface. Such a system may include an event queue to which the events are sent from the user interface and a RobotCreator tool for receiving the events as those events are submitted to the event queue. The event queue is configured to allow receipt of the events by the RobotCreator. The RobotCreator tool converts the events into robot commands.

21. A method of generating a set of robot commands based on user entry events in a user interface in a Java language operating environment comprising a java.awt.Robot class that provides robot commands that correspond to particular user input events, said method comprising:
-
intercepting said events as those events are submitted to an event queue; and converting said events into robot commands using said java.awt.Robot class; wherein said robot commands then form a macro which can substitute for user input events made using said user interface during execution of an application. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A software tool, stored on a medium for storing software, said tool, when executed in a Java language operating environment comprising a java.awt.Robot class that provides robot commands that correspond to particular user input events, causing generation of a set of robot commands based on user entry events in a user interface by:
-
receiving said events as those events are submitted to an event queue; and converting said events into robot commands using said java.awt.Robot class; wherein said robot commands then form a macro which can substitute for user input events made using said user interface during execution of an application.
