I'm trying to change the color of a JTextField. There are many
interesting discussions on much more detailed topics in other posts.

Here is my best attempt, which does NOT work as I might reasonably
expect:

class ITextField extends JTextField
{
   private String s1 = null;
   public void setText(String s) {
      s1 = s;
   }
   public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
      super.paintComponent(g);
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
      if (s1 != null) {
         g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
         g2.drawString(s1,0,0);
      }
   }
}

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you may be able to provide.
