Copying text to the clipboard using Java

by

This works for me and is quite simple:

Import these:

import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard;

And then put this snippet of code wherever you’d like to alter the clipboard:

String myString = "This text will be copied into clipboard";
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(myString);
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
clipboard.setContents(stringSelection, null);
