You can do it without using key event, by creating an artificial key event using java.awt.Robot class to generate a "simple caracter" key press (for instance KeyEvent.VK_A).
Sample Source Code -- May not be accurate but the concept is as follows.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {
// create AWT component
Frame f = new Frame();
// handle component's keyPressed event
f.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() { public void
keyPressed(KeyEvent ev) {System.out.println
(Character.isUpperCase( ev.getKeyChar()) ? "Caps Lock
ON" :"Caps Lock OFF");}
});
// make component visible (otherwise the Robot won't
work)
f.show();
// create Robot
Robot robot = new Robot();
// generate simple caracter key press
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);
}
}
How to check the status of a caps lock key..?
