<AWT Dev> Review Request for 8056911: Remove internal API usage from ExtendedRobot class

[Phil Race]

So you are proposing adding a new *public* API for this narrow purpose.
And it calls out a whole bunch of internal classes in its apI doc !?!

2642      * <p> The method calls {@link sun.awt.SunToolkit#realSync} to
2643      * sync with native event queue

@throws  sun.awt.SunToolkit.IllegalThreadException if called on the AWT event
2646      *          dispatching thread
2647      * @throws  sun.awt.SunToolkit.OperationTimedOut if the
2648      *          {@link sun.awt.SunToolkit.OperationTimedOut} exception occurs in
2649      *          {@link sun.awt.SunToolkit#realSync}
2650      * @throws  sun.awt.SunToolkit.InfiniteLoop if the
2651      *          {@link sun.awt.SunToolkit.InfiniteLoop} exception occurs in
2652      *          {@link sun.awt.SunToolkit#realSync}
2653      * @throws  ClassCastException if default toolkit is not SunToolkit


I am also not sure how confident I am that the statement

his method guarantees that after
2637      * return no additional Java events will be generated, unless
2638      * cause by user.

is actually guaranteed.


My initial reaction to such a proposal is instead look hard for a better
way even if it means re-writing all the tests.
There's also the proposed 'jdk.*' name space that can be considered
but re-writing the tests would be better.
