Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hello,

I'd like to make it to where the tab key simply switches the focus of the cursor to another element, without inserting into the JTextArea. Is there any way I can do this? This is the code I'm currently using.

package test;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

public class SSCCE implements KeyListener
{
	private static JTextArea ta[] = {new JTextArea(1,15),new JTextArea(1,15)};

	@Override
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {}

	@Override
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
	{
		JTextArea src = (JTextArea)e.getSource();
		if(e.getKeyCode()==9)
		{
			src.setText(src.getText().replace("\t",""));
			if(e.getSource() == ta[0])
			{
				ta[1].requestFocus();
			}
			else
			{
				ta[0].requestFocus();
			}
		}
	}

	@Override
	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}

	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		JPanel p[] = {new JPanel(), new JPanel()};
		JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
		
		ta[0].setFont(new Font("Courier New",Font.PLAIN,12));
		ta[0].addKeyListener(new SSCCE());
		ta[1].setFont(new Font("Courier New",Font.PLAIN,12));
		ta[1].addKeyListener(new SSCCE());
		p[0].add(ta[0]);
		p[1].add(ta[1]);
		f.setSize(152,80);
		f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
		f.add(p[0],BorderLayout.NORTH);
		f.add(p[1],BorderLayout.SOUTH);
		f.setVisible(true);
	}
}
