how to issue the command of Ctrl-C in Java

in Java is it possible to issue the command of Ctrl-C (copy) directly from a
program, suppose I have many different windows running on my desktop(Win XP) but
since in MS Windows OS at one time only one window is active, lets say the
active window is Java Application which I have purchased from a vendor, is it
possible to write a program in which when ever the user enters some hot key lets
say Ctrl-F1 than my Java program traps this event and issue a command of Ctrl-C
at the back end, as a consequence any selected text written in these Java
windows would be Copied, to issue Ctrl-C command will I need to access the Win
32 API or is this possible directly using Java, please guide me how can this be
possible, I would be thankful to you from the depth of my heart if you can guide
me to the
solution.

you need somthing closer to the kernel of the OS.
You can use Runtime class to Execute external Script or program writen in
another lang such as c++ which will take alot of work.
Surely you need2use WinAPI32 in your work i dnt think java has the ability to do
