Hey, yesterday a code change was made [1, 2] which removes FXRobot and the com.sun.javafx.robot package in JavaFX 9.
>The com.sun.javafx.robot package contains obsolete, unused Prism functionality that was intended for testing automation. It was superseded long ago by glass Robot and should be removed as dead code. Unfortunately FXRobot allows a use-case which is not covered by the glass robot. In TestFX we use the FXRobot to fire keytyped events that allow to type arbitrary (Unicode) characters. This solves multiple issues related to non-english keyboards and special characters and simplifies simulation of keyboard input greatly. There is also a commercial JavaFX framework that uses FXRobot to solve this issue; I spoke with the developers a while ago. If possible, could this change be reverted?
