We can gain focus in any jComponent with grabFocus()

 jtextField.grabGocus();
 jlist.grabFocus();
 jCombobox.grabFocus()
 etc.

All you need is to call grabFocus()
Example: jTextField.grabFocus();

Use requestFocusInWindow()

requestFocus() can be used but is discouraged as it is platform dependent.

See here for more details

JTextField extends JComponent so JTextField would have this method.

The abstract class Component which JTextField extends provides a requestFocus() method.

JTextField jtf = getTextFieldFromSomewhere();
jtf.requestFocus();
