Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hello,

I am working on a project in Java which requires broadcast screen captures. The purpose of the app would be defeated if the mouse pointer could not be captured as part of the screen. To my dismay, I have recently discovered that java.awt.Robot does not do screen captures which include the mouse pointer, nor does Sun offer an option in their API for such a thing. What can I do to achieve this functionality in Java? Is there a way I can alter the class, or extend it, to capture the mouse pointer?

Thanks,

-Tony
