If I recall the interface guidelines correctly, hitting SPACE counts as a click on the currently selected button. ENTER should fire the "default button", which you set using getRootPane().setDefaultButton(). (However, they only went half-way, because they ought to add the ability to register a default ESC behaviour - currently you need to add a keyboard action to trigger e.g. cancelButton.doClick() or something.)
