Hello, I've been trying recently to find out how to print out text into the screen like from keyboard, that is printing into active window, just like from keyboard port. Is there a premade package/method for that or how do I use the keyboard port?

You could make a window by using JFrame from javax.swing.
JFrame window = new JFrame("This is my windows title")You could use a JTextField so the user can input into the text field.
JTextField UserInput = new JTextField("Text to go inside the textfield, optional")and you could have a string to get the text of the JTextField.
String s = UserInput.getText()

That really depends on where you are taking the keyboard input from.
If you're looking to take it from the console, you can use the Scanner class
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Input something: ");
String line = input.nextLine();
However, if you want to know each key that entered as its entered, you need to invoke a KeyListener. If you just need the complete input, you can do something similar to what mango posted previously.
