Thank you for the pointers. I had the macosxautomation page. I'll have to check the book eventually.

Yes.
I've been able to do a number of interesting things on the Java app with UI scripting but setting values to a text field from a script is not one of them and I'm wondering why...

UI Browser is, among other things, an advanced scripter's tool for GUI Scripting, with capabilities going beyond those of Apple's UI Element Inspector (Accessibility Inspector).
The trial version does not seem to allow the setting of a Target Application so I can only see that it gives me the same values as UIElementInspector. But my issue right now is how to set the value of AXSelectedText with a script when I can do it through UIElementInspector's UI.
