I don't know of any Robot.drop() method, neither in java.awt.Robot nor
in FEST's Robot class. Are you referring to your own internal component?
If so, it would be useful to know what AWT method is ultimately used,
maybe something is not yet implemented in Cacio. ?

Currently not. It is possible to take screenshots using FEST's or AWT's
facilities. We are planning to combine Cacio-TTA with Cacio-Web, which
would allow to watch runnings tests live & online through a web-browser
using HTML5/JavaScript. The current problem we need to overcome is that
typically a unit tests starts and stops JVMs all the time, but we need
one web server running to deliver the frames to the browser.

Best regards,
Roman
