Tabbing out of a JTextArea

Question

Hi
Having a application with a number of textfields and a textarea, I would like to tab through (using the tab-key of course). The problem occurs in the textarea where the tab-key simply tabs along inside the textarea rather than moving on to the next textfield. How to fix that?
By the way... the "nextFocusableComponent" function seems to be deprecated in "J2SE 1.4.0_01", I understand that the new way to do that kind of navigation in applications is by using the "FocusTraversalPolicy". How does that work?

area.setLineWrap(true);
area.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("TAB"), "none");
area.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
if( event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB )
area.transferFocus();
contentPane.add(new JScrollPane(area), BorderLayout.CENTER);

contentPane.add(field, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AreaTest area = new AreaTest();
area.show();
