I'm in the process of doing some Java work though up to now the bulk of my
experience has been in Delphi. The way focus is handled in Swing is driving
me nuts and I think I must be missing a paradigm shift or something in going
to Java from Windows.

1) How do you determine which component currently has focus in Swing? I
wrote a function that iterates through the component tree checking
hasFocus(), it works but I figure there must be a better way already
provided by Java

2) In Windows, toolbar buttons don't get focus. Thus if you hit a "cut"
button, it's easy to determine what control currently has focus and to pass
the cut operation onto that control. How do I do the same in java? My
toolbar buttons get focus in java thereby causing the current control to
lose focus. I then can't determine what control should receive the "cut"
operation. The reason I'm doing this is I have a set of editors in
JInternalFrames in a JDesktopPane and I want a single set of cut, copy,
paste buttons and menus to work with these.

Thanks in advance for the help.
