I seem to be having trouble with some missing events using JTextField.  I
want to be notified whenever ANY key is typed in the field, including
ordinary text or delete or backspace.  I get an event when the user hits the
ENTER key, and on Backspace, but not on Delete (or maybe I have those two
switched).

What I want is to know that something has changed, so I can set a flag, then
when the user types ENTER or TAB or clicks on some other field, I want to
check that his input is valid.  This seems to work well with TextField, but
not with JTextField.

I have tried a few ways of trying to catch all these keystrokes, but nothing
is working yet.  Any help would be appreciated.
