I need a way to do what is described in the first answer to this question: Type a String using java.awt.Robot

Only I would like to avoid using the clipboard. Is there a generic way to do it without?

(Other answers to the question address printing some hard-coded keys, but they don't help me print "Hello, world!")

You can use javax.swing.KeyStroke to transform the characters in your string into keycodes. For each key code, call Robot.keyPress(...), Robot.keyRelease(...) as you are doing in your previous question
