Java might not be the best language for something like this.

many people spoke it to me.

can u explain to me why?

i dont understand..

i think java is a powerful language,

i know that each language is the best for something, but i dont know why java is not so good to do it!

You essentially are desiring to control another program through Java, but to do this well, you would need a language that is close to the OS and the hardware which Java isn't. Don't get me wrong, Java is a wonderful and powerful language, one that can create applications that can be more easily run on other machines than most other languages, but all this comes at a price, and that price is that it strives to be OS-agnostic. This is not what you're looking for. You're likely better using C, C#, AutoIt, or some-such.

Much luck!

I think use of C/C++ is the best choice for this implementation. Use of C# also may cause some difficulties when we really want to deal with memory controlling stuff. Better not to depend on GC.
