How do I make a JTextField receive focus as soon as my program starts? 
Will calling setFocus() in my class' constructor work ?

Thanks

Caling anything in the constructor is unlikely to work. Try installing a
WindowListener to your main GUI frame and calling
yourtextfield.requestFocus() in the WindowOpened event handler.
