Is it possible to call keyPressed event manually?

Question

I have a jButton and have added a KeyListener as below
JButton jb = new JButton ();
jb.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
     public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
          bKeyPressed(evt);//My own function
});I just wanted to know how to call the function keyPressed manually. I know that this function is called every time a key is pressed when jb is at focus. But i want to call it via program with my own character, say '1' or 'A' etc., that is via completely thru code. ie., create a effect that a particular char is pressed. Please help..

There may be an easier way, but if all else fails, see [Robot.keyPress(int)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html#keyPress(int)].
Edit 1:
Speaking of 'easier' see [AbstractButton.doClick()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/AbstractButton.html#doClick()].
