Mac java - no mouse event

Question

I am having trouble with my app where when you are at the login screen and you enter your login name, then click on the password text field the focus will not go there but remains on the user name field. You can tab ok to the password field. Has anyone encountered this with mac's. I am not sure if it's the code ( I have taken it over from someone else).
At one point the tab didn't work either, but I found some code that was specific to 1.4 and newer versions of Java, but it was only looking for Sun's 1.4 or better, not Apple's, so I was able to fix that by checking to see if the Java being used was Apple's. So I'm not sure if this is another code-specific exclusion, but if it is, I just can't find it. The mouse click works fine if I use Apple's 1.3 java.
So I guess my question is, does anyone know of any issues with mouse events and Apple's java 1.4 version.
Thanks.

Something isn't right with your code. The code below works fine on OSX 10.3.2:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SignInDialog extends JDialog {
   private JTextField serverJTextField = new JTextField("server");
   private JTextField userNameJTextField = new JTextField("username");
   private JPasswordField passwordField = new JPasswordField("password");
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      new SignInDialog();
   public SignInDialog() {
      super();
      try {
         init();
         setVisible(true);
      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
   private void init() {
      this.setTitle("Login");
      this.setResizable(false);
      this.setSize(new Dimension(270, 187));
      this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
      JLabel serverJLabel = new JLabel("Server:");
      JLabel usernameJLabel = new JLabel("Username:");
      JLabel passwordJLabel = new JLabel("Password:");
      JButton loginJButton = new JButton("Login");
      JButton cancelJButton = new JButton("Cancel");
      // (int x, int y, int width, int height) 
      serverJLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(10, 12, 130, 25));
      serverJTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(84, 12, 167, 25));
      usernameJLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(10, 49, 130, 25));
      userNameJTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(84, 49, 167, 25));
      passwordJLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(10, 86, 130, 25));
      passwordField.setBounds(new Rectangle(84, 86, 167, 25));
      loginJButton.setBounds(new Rectangle(90, 123, 75, 25));
      cancelJButton.setBounds(new Rectangle(176, 123, 75, 25));
      this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
      this.getContentPane().add(serverJLabel, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(serverJTextField, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(usernameJLabel, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(userNameJTextField, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(passwordJLabel, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(passwordField, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(loginJButton, null);
      this.getContentPane().add(cancelJButton, null);
      loginJButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            System.out.println("loginJButton.actionPerformed");
      loginJButton.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
           public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
           if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
              System.out.println("loginJButton.keyPressed");
      cancelJButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            dispose();
