Hi all,

This is a patch to add keyboard accessibility to JColorChooser swatch,

so when using TAB, the focus can move to SwatchPanel, choose color with arrow keys and select color with space bar.

In current implementation, it is not able to move the focus to SwatchPanel with TAB, this can be seen in SwingSet2 demo. Steps:

run SwingSet2 demo
click on JColorChooser demo
click Background button and Swatches panel appears.
Press Tab key => focus moves to OK button as shown in this image http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zhouyx/OJDK-61/screenshot_1.png

With this patch, in step4, focus moves to SwatchPanel, as shown here http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zhouyx/OJDK-61/screenshot_2.png Then, arrow keys can be used to choose color and select color by space bar.

Please take a look.
