Question

Emulate means to invoke these events programatically.

Global context means that these event invocations should affect the whole desktop (sort of global environment) rather than the application which produces them. Moreover, the application itself should have no windows – it has to simply execute in background and produce these events due to some logic. In other words, if, for example, this application puts mouse in “global” arbitrary position and invokes a double click event and there is an icon of some other application under the cursor then this “other” application should start.

Which library can I use to achieve it?

Note: I don’t specify OS since I hope that the library is supposed to do it in a cross-platform way. If that’s not possible then I will be fine with the Windows only solution.

Answer 1

I found out that Java’s java.awt.Robot has all requested features.
