🚀 go-pugleaf

John,

It works for me. (Just tried it) What surrounding container are you using 
that doesn't have a validate() method?  I assume you aren't using a JApplet? 
If you type this.validate() are you sure this isn't a valid method? 
validate() is a method of awt.Container, which many containers such as 
JFrame inherit from.

I didn't need to request focus to the panel, I just called it directly on 
the component that I wanted to end up with the focus, after calling 
validate().

Perhaps you need to post a very simple example that demonstrates your 
problem. You also haven't said which version of JBuilder and which JDK you 
are using. Perhaps this is affecting what you are doing.
