Using Copy (Ctrl-C) functionality with disabled JTextFields

I am working on a Swing application (Java 1.4 ) and I am having
trouble implementing the following functionality:
    A JTextField that should not be part of focus traversal (should
not be tabbed to), but the text can be selected and copied (Ctrl-C).

    This is a requirement across the whole application, which is
hundreds of panels, so 'hard-coding' the tab order is not an option.

TIA,
John
