Try this.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Robot robot = null;
try {
robot = new Robot();
} catch (AWTException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Throwable th) {
th.printStackTrace();
}
}
The problem is almost certainly that some exception other than AWTException is being thrown. (My money, since you’re a self-described noob, is on NullPointerException.) Anyway, nothing will throw past this: Not all things that can be thrown are children of Exception, but they are all children of Throwable.
