Tab key on JTextArea

How can the focus be moved to the next focusable component when a tab
key is pressed on a JTextArea?

Thanks in advance!

Try ctrl-TAB to move out the JTextArea. If you really
want TAB, rather than ctrl-TAB (the default), then you
must override the KeyStroke and Action objects for
the TAB key on the InputMap for the JTextArea.
