    Default Getting a screenshot with Java

    Hi all, I am developing a program that will need to take screenshots of an external windows application; I have been able to do this in Python but am having trouble with the Java language. All that I've been able to find so far is to use the Robot class to take a full screenshot of the desktop and go from there. The problem is that this window may not be in full view from the desktop, and there may be more than one window I need to take screenshots from. Is there anyway in Java to get a screenshot of a window that may be minimized or partially obscured? Any and all help appreciated

    I know only of the Robot class's screen capture method.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
