I am using Helios on Mac Snow Leopard. I don\'t know why but all of a sudden my arrow keys and delete button start not working only on Eclipse (so Eclipse ignores them) but
I got this same problem when I started using JRobot. In one piece of code I pressed the mouse but did not release. By releasing the mouse in a later piece of code I managed to solve the issue. You can recreate this problem using the code below. Release the mouse button to solve the issue.
Robot robot;
try {
robot = new Robot();
robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
//robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
} catch (AWTException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
