How can I record a Java Swing GUI as a video file on Mac OS X?

If you want a stand-alone video, you will need to do screen capture and encode it to a movie.

You can use the java.awt.Robot classes to capture the window as seen by the user, and do it frequently enough to get a reasonable framerate. I am unfortunately not familiar with a tool that can encode frames to video under Java.

JMF should be capable of doing so. Here is a tutorial about how to do screen grabbing and encoding with JMF.
