title: Java robot and image comparison
body: <p>I'm toying with an idea for creating a Java application to automate a process that I have to do regularly and before I start any coding I thought I would seek advice as to the best way to approach it.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, the application I use has a large number of images present on the screen at any one time, and what I would like to know is if there is a way to have Java identify if any of these two images are the same.  If they are, I would like to automate mouse movement and button clicks.</p>
  
  <p>After a bit of reading, I'm thinking that the <code>PixelGrabber</code> and <code>Robot</code> classes might be the right way to start, but like I said, I'm looking for any information on this that can be offered.</p>
  
  <p>What are your suggestions?</p>
