Laurent,

I have done what you are trying to do.  Here is my solution:  I used
setColumns(int) to set the columns to 1 greater than I wanted the field
to be.  Then I added a KeyListener to the field and implemented the
keyTyped(KeyEvent) method.  Whenever a key is typed it checks to see if
the current length of the textfield (getText().trim().length()) is equal
to the value of getColumns() - 1.  If it is equal then I consume the
event, e.consume().  I hope this helps.
