[java] JFrame to image file. [Solved]
Author
I'm trying to output an Image file of a frame, that is menu bar, and border, etc. I'm not seeing in the javadoc where the functionality is located. Could someone please post a code snippet?
Thanks,

I never did it before, but I would try the following... Create an image (BufferedImage) using the Graphics object retrieved through the JFrame, and use it to paint() the component again (or something similar). Then call ImageIO to write the image on a file. I don't know if you can do such a thing (i.e, paint a component on an image), but I guess the solution is something close to that.

Here is the solution I found -- uses a Robot. The Graphics, and BufferedImage route doesn't work because java is using a peer to render the frame, titlebar, and border.
