Recreate typed text from keycodes

Question

I a Java program I have the list of typed keyCodes and need to compute the text that was typed in.

For example:

16-72-69-76-76-79-16-49 means "Hello!".

I could do this manually of course, but is there some functionality in Java or a library to aid with this? Preferably also with specifying the keyboard layout...

From what I know there is not standard and as you hinted, it depends on keyboard layout. I trust you've checked out this Java lib:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html

But as far as a library that helps universal from OS/device/layout I don't know if one exists.
