Does anyone know how java can input a string into the system clipboard that can be accessed later?

Answer 1

public void Copyit() {
      try{
      getit = area.getSelectedText();
      c = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
       Transferable contents = clipboard.getContents( im );
           c.setContents( contents, null );
          if(getit.equalsIgnoreCase("null")){ throw null; }
       }catch(NullPointerException nul){ System.out.print("Clipboard is emty");} 
  public void Pasteit() {
          c = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
          Transferable contents = c.getContents(this);
          String getit1 = "";
          try {
            getit1 = ( String ) contents.getTransferData( DataFlavor.stringFlavor );
        if(getit.equalsIgnoreCase("null")) { getit = null;
           throw null; }
           else
            field.setText(getit1);
         }catch(NullPointerException e ) {
           System.out.println( "Unable to read system clipboard" ); }    catch(Exception ee ) {
           System.out.println( "Unable to read system clipboard" ); }
}here is two function that will work on a textfild/textarea you just have to piece the rest together which is not much or hard
