I made a login dialog with JTextField and JPasswordField. However, right now when the popup shows that the "OK" button is highlighted. I want it to start on the username input box as soon as the popup shows. I've looked at many different methods but none of them seem to work. How might I do this?

    By default the first focusable component on the dialog will have focus. I'm sure you don't define the "Ok" button first so you must be doing something strange. Post your [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/) that demonstrates the problem. – camickr Nov 09 '13 at 05:55

One solution is to call requestFocusInWindow() on the JTextField. If you've tried this and it doesn't work, then you'd best show us how you've tried this.
