Contents of another window?

Can java read contents of another window? And send keystrokes to it?
I will be dabbling in computer vision and ai and I want to teach java to
play games such as pacman.

Thanks!

Not in a "pure java" way unless the 'pacman' is running in the same VM
or you can modify it. If you can sacrifice platform independance you
could drop into a native library via JNI and use native os mechanics
to grab the contents of an arbitrary window.
