I am trying to set a textfield to have immediate focus upon entry of a
screen by using the following in the init:

      jTextField1.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
      jTextField1.requestFocus();

The focus seems to be on the JFrame itself and until a tab key is entered,
it won't give relinquish the focus to the textfield, regardless of the above
code.

Anybody resolved this one?

TIA
