Hello Everyone!

I am currently studying for the SCJP exam with a friend who raised a
question to which neither of us has an answer.

We work with an application where we have no access to any source code
(and the Tecchies won't give it to us.....). So, we raised the
question of whether or not it is possible to retrieve data from the
screen display itself and copy it into another application.

I have discovered references to "screen scraping" (which seems to have
some very dubious uses), and also references to the Robot class.

Is it possible to retrieve data (in the form of JPEGs) from one
application and use them in another, simply by "scanning" or copying
the display??

Waiting to be enlightened,

Herbie
