public class TextField
extends JTextField

A better text field with some useful features.

• Fires when focus leaves the component.
• Selects all the contents when the action is fired to indicate the contents were accepted.
• Until the user causes a notify-field-accept (usually with the Enter key), the contents may be reverted to the original value by invoking the field-revert action (bound to ESC by default).
• Actions are fired on all edits.
• The field has a fixed height.
• Pressing Enter when the field is blank will insert a default value, if one has been provided.

This functionality may be applied to any JTextField with the decorate(JTextField) method.
