Continue after Robot has finished typing

Question

Hi,
I have found a basic example of the Robot class:
public class RobotExample {   
    public static void main(String[] args) {       
        try {           
            Robot robot = new Robot();
            // Robot start writting
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_H);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_I);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_B);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_U);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_D);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_Y);           
        } catch (AWTException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    // Code that follows needs to ensure that the Robot has finished typing
}The code that immediately follows the Key Presses remove focus from where the robot is typing so it would be nice to detect when the Robot has finished typing before I continue. At the moment the best way I can think of would be to simply place all the Key Presses in a Thread, telling it to sleep once it had finished. The problem with that is there could still be a problem with the amount of time being too much or too little and no way of finding out.
Does any one have any ideas how I can listen to the Robot events and continue once they have finished?
Thanks
