I do need my JTextField to sometimes notify me only when my value changes between focusGain and focusLost, and sometimes notify me of all changes.  I did set up the all changes to track on keyTyped events, though I notice that also picks up Enter and Tab which don't change the value.  I could set up the key events and the drag/drop events using only the DocumentListener, but the stupid drop event is only sending it one character at a time, so if I drop in 4 characters I get 4 events when I only need one.  The only workaround I can think of is to delay all document change events with some kind of Timer, to collect them and notify the change after not receiving any events for a few milliseconds.  It sounds dumb to notify on every character when I'm dropping in multiple characters, when I'm using the change notification to send text out to filter another control.
