/* We're using the automaton library (https://github.com/renatoathaydes/Automaton)

 */

/* Here we're using reflection to get the main class of the swing application */
Class<?> mainClass = Class.forName("package.then.classname");

/* Start swing application */
String[] params = {};

swinger = Swinger.forSwingWindow();

/* Give time for application to start */
swinger.pause(500);

Component frame = swinger.getAt("type:FrameClassName");

/* assemble tree */
SwingTree st = new SwingTree(frame);

/* Get JSON - currently the only output format supported */
JSONObject obj = st.toJSON();

/* Write to file */
try (FileWriter file = new FileWriter("/path/to/file.json")) {
    file.write(obj.toJSONString());
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("Error writing JSON to file");
