Look at the Robot class.

Answer 2

It's been a while, but I think there's something in the Robot class that will help you.

EDIT:

From the Robot API:

public BufferedImage createScreenCapture(Rectangle screenRect)

    Creates an image containing pixels read from the screen. This image does not include the mouse cursor.

    Parameters:
        screenRect - Rect to capture in screen coordinates 
    Returns:
        The captured image
