When I try to use an awt robot to type in java nothing comes out, what am I doing wrong?

When I try to use an awt robot to type in java nothing comes out,

what am I doing wrong?

I wanted to make something that would just type TEST and a new line after but every time I run it nothing comes out, I wonder what it is that I'm doing wrong. Pardon my nooby code I am new to Java.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class test {

    static int msg[] = 
    {
        KeyEvent.VK_T, KeyEvent.VK_E, KeyEvent.VK_S, KeyEvent.VK_T, KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,
    };

    public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException, InterruptedException {
        Robot r = new Robot();

        Thread.sleep(200);
        for(int x = 0;x < 10;x++){
            for(int i = 0;i < msg.length;i++){
                r.keyPress(msg[i]);
                r.delay(10);
            }
        }

    }

}

  1. Make sure you follow the keyPress with a keyRelease call (for the same key type)
  2. Make sure that the wherever you want the text to come out has key board focus

Where is it typing? If it is AWT, you need to get control focus first.
