When running a Sikuli script (Python language) in Jython interpreter (or with the means of Sikuli IDE), you can import and use all Java classes, found in the class path.

--- differences to plain Java code

- no variable declarations needed
- no trailing ; needed
- creating an instance just by saying
someObject = SomeJavaClass()
creates a new instance of java class SomeJavaClass

So just import the needed class and start coding according to the documented Java API.

example:

--- taking a screenshot and write it to an image file
from java.awt import *
from java.io import File
from javax.imageio import ImageIO

robot = Robot()

theImage = robot.createScreenCapture(Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()))
ImageIO.write(theImage, "png", File(r"C:\myPic.png"))
