The EventQueue is your friend.  Sample below.


==============================================

package foo;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;

public class SimulateKeystrokes
    extends Frame {

  private Simulator sim;

  public SimulateKeystrokes() {
    setBounds(50,50,400,300);
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    TextArea area=new TextArea(5,20);
    add(area);
    sim=new Simulator(area);
    Button go=new Button("Say 'Hi There'");
    go.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        sim.simulate("Hi There");
      }
    });
    add(go);
    setVisible(true);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new SimulateKeystrokes();
  }

  // ---------------------------------------

  private static class Simulator {

    Component component;

    public Simulator(Component component) {
      this.component=component;
    }

    public void simulate(String text) {
      final int NO_MODIFIERS=0;
      for (int i=0; i < text.length(); i++) {
        char c=text.charAt(i);
        new EventQueue().postEvent(
          new KeyEvent(
            component
            ,KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED
            ,new Date().getTime()
            ,NO_MODIFIERS
            ,KeyEvent.VK_UNDEFINED
            ,c
          )
        );
      }

    }

  }
