Unfortunately, I have found setting initial focus to be far from simple. The
following code should work

  SwingUtilities.invokeLater
  (
   new Runnable()
   {
    public void run()
    {
     // Set focus to the component
     theComponent.requestFocus();
    }
   }
  );

Thanks to Tal Lyron for the above code
