Remove AWT Mode #273

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
FEST-Swing provides two modes: Robot and AWT modes. Robot mode uses the AWT
Robot to simulate true native user input. On the other hand, AWT mode only
creates and sends AWT events, which is not really native user input.

AWT mode really doesn't offer any advantage over Robot mode. The AWT Robot
has been around since Java 1.3. By now, it is present in all major OSes
where Java runs. In addition, AWT mode does not support 'drag and drop'.

Keeping AWT mode limits extensibility of FEST from the user perspective,
since there is no way to perform certain actions in AWT mode (e.g. clicking
on a specific point, regardless if there is a UI component involved.)

When I use FEST  AWT Robot to testing JAVA GUI programs in my computer,I can 
not do any thing through mouse and keyboard,I finds that java.awt.Robot can not 
work through remote desktop in Windows XP.
