I subclassed JTextField, and added an ActionListener as follows:

      this.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            transferFocus();
        }
      });

This is meant to make the ENTER key behave just like the TAB key, and traverse
through components on a panel.

On my panel, each component has its NextFocusableComponent set to move the
focus in a circle on the panel. For good measure, I also overrode the
isFocusCycleRoot() method to return true.

The TAB key moves the focus in a circle among the components on the panel. The
ENTER key moves the focus through the components, then at the end the focus
goes to a component on a different panel.

The transferFocus() is ignoring both the isFocusCycleRoot and the
setNextFocusableComponent.
