Any automation tool available for Java apps ?

Native Windows apps can easily be automated/controlled with tools like Winbatch...especially when standard GUI controls are used.

Does anyone know if there is a comparable facility that works directly with the JVM so that Swing controls, buttons, etc. can be controlled by another program (java or c++ or .net) ?

AFAIK there is no way to access controls from standalone process. All you can do is using something like Jemmy library.

I'm interested in the converse: getting a sendKeys() functionality from w/in Java so that I can run other windows processes like I do now w/ c#. AFAIK, this can't be done w/out using additional non-Java code and the JNI. If anyone knows different, please inform me. Thanks! /Pete

girder looks good, but I've played with Winbatch and it is very powerful. If someone could create a girder plug-in for Java, that would be "the ticket" and solution. I could see only someone with intimate internals knowledge of the JVM being able to pull this off.
