I am sure you have figured it out by now, but I was facing the same
problem today and thought it might be useful for someone:

I added the following code to the constructor of the small wrapper class
(TTextArea) which extends the JTextArea

        this.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
        {
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke)
            {
                if (ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB &&
                    ke.isShiftDown())
                {
                     ke.consume();
                    TTextArea.this.transferFocusBackward();
                }
                else if (ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)
                {
                    ke.consume();
                    TTextArea.this.transferFocus();
                }
            }
        });
