What is SikuliX SikuliX automates anything you see on the screen of your desktop computer running Windows, Mac or some Linux/Unix. It uses image recognition powered by OpenCV to identify GUI components and can act on them with mouse and keyboard actions. This is handy in cases when there is no easy access to a GUI's internals or the source code of the application or web page you want to act on. More details
Since version 2 is still in a very experimental stage and needs a complete revision, I thought, that it might be the time, to implement some of the version-2-ideas into the current version 1.
Major changes and enhancements
- latest OpenCV 3.x and everything at the Java level
- support for transparency
- revision of the text/OCR feature now based on Tess4J (wrapper around latest Tesseract 3.x)
- packaging reduced to downloadable, ready-to-use API and IDE jars (bye, bye Setup ;-)
- revision of the IDE and its feature implementations
Be aware This version is a developement version and currently only available as nightly build.

You need at least Java 8, but it works on Java 9, 10, 11 also
Developement is done on Java 11 now (OpenJDK release)
