Public bug reported:

The built in Java screen grabber
(java.awt.Robot.createScreenCapture(...)) does not work correctly with
unity-2d. When attempting to create a screen capture for the whole
screen only the dash and menu bars are captured - everything else is
black. This only affects unity-2d not unity or KDE.

Simple test case:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ScreenGrab {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Rectangle grabRect = new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
      Robot robot = new Robot();
      BufferedImage capture = robot.createScreenCapture(grabRect);
      ImageIO.write(capture, "PNG", new File("java-screen-shot.png"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
