Java Swing-ers,

I have created an application with a JTree as the left component and
separate pane-view classes for the right component of the JSplitPane, one
for each node. The JTree is essentially a menu, when you click on a node
the appropriate view is created and set as the right component. I have this
working fairly well - Windows Explorer or JBuilder have a very similar
look.

PROBLEM: When any view (right component) with a JTextField receives focus
and I click on a node in the JTree (other than the node for the displayed
view) - when I return to this view, the vertical edit bar does not display
in the JTextField. It acts like the focus is getting messed up somehow in
fact, I have focus listeners for my JTextFields and I put
System.out.println's in their functions and it never prints out that the
focus was permanently or temporarily lost when this occurs. I can avoid the
problem if I set focus in the JTextField and then click on the node
associated with this view and then traverse the tree - when I come back it
okay - the JTextFields have the vertical edit bar.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
