I am trying to validate JTextFields - min/max age, etc.  I would like to
check the input in the field and not let the user move out of the textField
until the input is valid.  I can do this when the return key is hit and
validate on the actionPerformed event, but when I try to validate on the
FocusLost event - and try to redirect the focus 'back' to the field the
focus gets screwed up.

Any help or directon to resources is appreciated
