title: Block mouse input in Java Swing
body: <p>I have a testing FEST app which uses an AWT robot for simulating certain actions over a Swing interface. My problem is that it seems like moving the mouse pointer during the robot-test execution cancels some of the programatic actions, like pressing a column header. If you dont touch anything during execution, then cursor moves alone to the target and hits it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to block mouse user input for that app until test is finished? </p>
  
  <p>Maybe not a block but a way to ignore events, force EDT finish or shielding robot would be appreciated of course</p>
