Alternate for C# System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send method in java

I would like to know is there any alternates for the following C# function in java..

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send()

Basically i am doing an application that should send key presses to system that is for other applications.

like if i send 

Ctrl+C Value

to the system, it should copy the selected content (in any other application, not in my application)

any other suggestions are also welcome

Your best bet will probably be to call the Windows API directly.

The call you would be using would be "PostMessage" from the windows API.

See the following link for a reference on how to call the Windows native API,
