I'm looking for a java gui testing tool in which tests can be created by recording my gui actions (buttons pressed, windows closed, etc.)
A scripting mechanism for writing tests is not required.
It could be free or commercial, but cheap and great is better than expensive and great.
My application is a rich-client app written in Java SE 6.

Most software developers are familiar with JUnit, a Java testing tool that does an excellent job simplifying unit tests written in Java. But TestNG is even better. TestNG is a combination of the best features from both JUnit and NTest.
If it's a Swing app you could take a look at Marathon.

I concur with Kettelerij, Marathon's the way to go.
It's easy to integrate into external systems like Subversion & CruiseControl, becasue all the scripts are human readable (Jython) and not locked into some proprietary format that requires an export (like most of the commercial tools).
It is able to record scripts in your choice of Jython or JRuby, which are essentially python and ruby that give you access to Java API. Very easy to understand.
For advanced testers, you are able to identify which GUI component you want to select using not just their names, but instead a a unique subset of their properties, for example
click('{Text: OK Enabled: true}')
... finds a component whose getText() is "OK" and isEnabled() is "true". This makes the scripts highly dynamic and easier to maintain.
