John,

Have you (or anyone else!?) ever successfully used InputVerifier's on a
project. Outside the two text field example included in the JavaDoc, this is
a completely useless class. I'm not busting your chops, I have submitted
this behavior to Sun as a bug. I would just love to know how they expected
this class to work. No book author has ventured forth any ideas. Thought
some of our super-users mey have an idea.

Some guy on deja demonstrated how you can subclass some JComponents
(JButton, JCheckbox) and override their actionPerformed to include a check
to make sure that the component has focus before firing the event. This is
fine, but we have a real GUI in place with JTrees, JTables, Menus, combo
boxes, etc. Not to mention that subclassing all of these components is a
real pain and makes development more cumbersome. In all actuality, it may be
the lesser of two evils.
