How to set cursor in new text areas?

I have a program that creates a new text area on a JFrame where ever I left click. However, I always need to click the text area again in order to move the cursor there to type.

I was wondering how I could automatically set the cursor in the text area each time I create a new one without having to click again. How to set cursor in new text areas?

As Andrew Thompson has suggested:

You should use the following method in order to set the cursor in new text areas (note the link to docs.oracle.com) - requestFocusInWindow()
