Export an application using Robot java class
Sep 22nd, 2007, 12:03pm  
I have written a sketch in processing which uses the Robot class to move the mouse to specific locations on the screen. It works perfectly when it is run within processing, however when I try to export it as an application, I get the following error sent back to me:

E:/Processing Sketches/Robot/application.windows/Robot.java:26:5:26:30: Semantic Error: No applicable overload for a method with signature "mouseMove(int, int)" was found in type "java.awt.Component". Perhaps you wanted the overloaded version "boolean mouseMove(java.awt.Event $1, int $2, int $3);" instead?

processing.app.RunnerException: Perhaps you wanted the overloaded version "boolean mouseMove(java.awt.Event $1, int $2, int $3);" instead?
at processing.app.Compiler.message(Compiler.java:339)
at processing.app.MessageSiphon.run(MessageSiphon.java:60)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I have read that it may be something to do with the fact that I haven't got a main() function added, however I am not experienced in java so I wouldn't know how to make one! If anyone knows of any way I can get this to export properly, I would be very appreciative.

Don't worry about it, I found the solution! If anyone was interested, you have to direct the new robot command to the robot class, ie.

java.awt.Robot robot = new java.awt.Robot();

This will allow processing to export as an application. Hope this helps anyone that needs it!
