Need something to auto-click a dialog when it pops up.

I've got a java program that, periodically, pops up a 'are you still here? click okay' box. I'd like to be able to run it overnight, and have something click 'ok' for me. is there a good utility for this?

Better still would be one that i could run on a different virtual desktop while still using my computer.

Thanks,

I seriously hope I'm not going to make someone angry with my 'advice'...

I use xdotool and I found it very useful. I used it to move the mouse to a fixed location, double click, and then push some keys... all in a similar situation such as yours: launching a java application remotely, needed to get past a few message boxes.
