Answer 1

The Robot class has both keyPress and keyRelease method which can be used to cause key events on a machine.

The following is a little demonstration code that I tried out that launches Notepad in Windows, waits half a second and types hello into it:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");

Robot r = new Robot();
r.setAutoDelay(100);
r.delay(500);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_H);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_E);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_L);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_L);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_O);
