Answer 1

if you looking for browser automation can use selenium or java.awt.Robot

Robot can send 'clicks' to the OS. have used it along with vbs scripts to first make sure a particular window has focus and then send text and clicks, and finally save results ... not very good as if the page changes things then you need to make adjustments. But the person I made this used it for 4 years.
