How do I move the mouse cursor programatically?

From JDK1.3, you can use the robot class, very useful for testing purposes.
Following example shows you how to take a desktop screenshot (0,0) --> (200,200)
as well as manipulating the mouse cursor. The cursor will traverse diagonally
from the top left corner to the bottom right.
