Get readable text only from clipboard

by 
import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor;
import java.awt.datatransfer.UnsupportedFlavorException;
import java.io.IOException;

String data = (String) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()
                .getSystemClipboard().getData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);

with the getData() Method and the stringFlavor you should get plain text from the clipboard.

If there are weird text in the clipboard, I think, this should be a problem of the program which puts the data in the clipboard.
