JDK-8090763 - FX Robot API
Description
Many useful subjects as automatic testing, self-running demos and game bots:)  need such functionality.

It looks hardly inelegant and solidless to use awt.Robot with modern and shiny FX apis.

Please, consider this feature.

Glass provides Robot functionality for ages by now. See com.sun.glass.ui.Robot class. If you need a higher level (public) API, please file an RFE against Graphics (or any other relevant) component.
