        Every container in Swing/AWT can be given a FocusTraversalPolicy with:

public void setFocusTraversalPolicy(FocusTraversalPolicy policy)
Remember to enable the container as a FocusCycleRoot:

setFocusCycleRoot(true)
Together it looks like:

container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(myCustomPolicy);
container.setFocusCycleRoot(true);
