There's an excellent discussion over at Javalobby on how to add context menus to text components in Swing. In Windows, textfields have a context menu with entries suchs as cut, copy, and paste,  which is not available in Swing's Windows look and feel.

Surprisingly enough, the discussion is pretty civilised and lacks the typical "Sun will never get native fidelity right" and "Stuff like that makes my Swing application look unprofessional" posts.
