Java print screen program

Question

I am trying to use Robot in Java to make an image file of a print screen. So far I have:

 Robot robot = new Robot();
 Rectangle screenRect = new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
 BufferedImage capture = new Robot().createScreenCapture(screenRect);
 ImageIO.write(capture, "bmp", new File("printscreen.bmp"));

But I can't seem to get it to create the file.

+1 to close this as the op realize the code is good as it is. — OscarRyz, Nov 30 '10 at 21:23

Probably safe to assume the code in his program actually compiles. The missing quotes are likely an omission. – Tim Bender Nov 30 '10 at 21:19
Probably, but with quotes works perfectly ( at least on my machine ) – OscarRyz Nov 30 '10 at 21:20
yeah I agree +1. @Ste T, is your post an exact copy/paste or did you type the code in? – Tim Bender Nov 30 '10 at 21:23

Not sure if .bmp files are support. Oops, they are:

System.out.println( Arrays.asList( ImageIO.getWriterFileSuffixes() ) );

You can also use the Screen Image class for some more general screen printing features.
