Suggestion:
Many tests still use `@library /lib/client`.
Not only are they unnecessary in most cases, but they can also hide the use of
`ExtendedRobot`.
For example, in this test, the use of `ExtendedRobot` has not been removed, and
it is implicitly compiled due to the presence of `@library /lib/client`. After
removing `@library`, the test no longer compiles.
error: cannot find symbol
private static ExtendedRobot robot;
I suggest removing all unnecessary uses of `@library/lib/client` because there
are still plenty of uses of `ExtendedRobot` in other tests as well.
This issue has been
[raised](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22044#discussion_r2140831788)
before, but it has not yet been resolved for all tests.

Also, please run a grep search for `ExtendedRobot` in the `test/jdk` directory.
This pull request does not cover many tests that still use the `ExtendedRobot`
(which doesn't even use the `dragAndDrop()` and can be safely removed).
test/jdk/lib/client/ExtendedRobot.java line 158:
> 156: * @see #dragAndDrop(int, int, int, int)

I missed that earlier. Why didn't we also move the `dragAndDrop` methods to
`java.awt.Robot`?
This would allow us to remove the ExtendedRobot class entirely.
