How would I set the tab button to move the focus from one component to the
next?
Also, how would I set a JButton to be 'pressed' when the enter button is
pressed?

Thanks!

Assuming you mean the tab *key*, it should do that by default.

Bind the Enter key.  The JDK docs cover the Key Binding mechanism.  You
can also find a copy here:

In java , there is no "tab order", and the tab order in windows for java
application is same as the same order the component added to the container.

In swing, you can use setNextFocusableComponent to manual define tab order
one by one.  this can not do "visible" like Delphi.

No, you certainly do NOT use setNextFocusableComponent any more.  It's 
been deprecated since JDK 1.4 was released, so you should not be using 
it in new code, and you should be replacing it in old code.

You can use DefaultFocusTraversalPolicy, but I don't like it.
This make simple thing complex.
