irxevent and java applications

[Henrik J. <hen...@ho...>]

I've tried to use irxevent to send keyevents to a java application. The problem is that it only works as long as the java window is focused. This is a piece of code that I've written to test this:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Test {
	public static void main( String[] args ) {
			Win w= new Win();
			w.setVisible( true );
	}
}

class Win extends Frame implements KeyListener {
	Label text;

	public Win() {
		super( "test" );
		this.addKeyListener( this );
		this.setUndecorated( true );
		this.setBounds( 0, 0, 200, 200 );
		text= new Label( "" );
		text.setAlignment( 1 );
		add( text );
	}

	public void keyTyped( KeyEvent ke ) {}
	public void keyPressed( KeyEvent ke ) {
		     if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP ) text.setText( "up" );
		else if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN ) text.setText( "down" );
		else if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT ) text.setText( "left" );
		else if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT ) text.setText( "right" );
		else if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE ) System.exit( 0 );
	}
	public void keyReleased( KeyEvent ke ) {}
}

Does anyone else know if this should work?

And yes, I know about jlirc, but it feels a little unnecessary as irxevent should be able to do the same thing...
