Why do you need this? To spy on the user and steal his/her password?

Probably. Although you can actually use the same method to stop
keyloggers, if you're using the Windows API global keyboard hook (and
the keylogger is trying to, obviously). Although I'm not sure if you
could do it in Java without using JNI etc.
