Create a JTextField and place in a container of your choice.
Set the edit state to false (setEditable( false ))

Select the text in the field and press backspace. The text is deleted. This shouldn't happen. All other key inputs are disabled.

Here is my sample code:

import com.sun.java.swing.*;
import com.sun.java.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Foo {
    public static
    void main(String args[]) {
        JTextField fld;
        Frame f = new Frame();
        f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        f.add( fld = new JTextField("Hello World") );
        fld.setEditable( false );
        f.setSize(200, 200);
        f.show();
    }
}
