Hmm. This is a pretty broad change.
It applies to any Swing component that accepts a caret as far as I can tell, 
and is broader than A11Y, so I worry about unexpected consequences.
What is the situation today for a JTextField - and other such components ? Why 
was the bug report mentioning only JTextArea ?
What happens for AWT heavyweights ? Does Windows display a caret even if they 
aren't editable ?
Why is a non-editable Text Area really any different than a JLabel ?? Surely 
that can't get focus ?
I guess I am surprised that that a non-editable component should have focus at 
all .. so what other components accept focus even if they aren't "active" ?
