Hi

   I know how to use Robot class to take a screen shot. But, I would like to take a snap shot of a java Swing GUI.  How can I do that....How can I know the locations of Java GUI in the screen.

Please let me know

Thanks

there no needed any active Screens Capture

any JComponents including Containers can be printed to Image, BufferedImage

        Dimension size = container.getSize();

        BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

        Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();

        panel.paint(g2);

        try {

            ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("snapshot.jpg"));

        } catch (Exception e) {

            // exceptions handling

        }
