---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;

import javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class ComboBoxTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("ComboBox Test");
		final JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox();
		comboBox.setModel(new DefaultComboBoxModel(new String[] { "Apple", "Orange", "Banana" }));
		comboBox.setEditable(true);
		comboBox.getEditor().getEditorComponent().addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
			public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
				comboBox.getEditor().selectAll();
			}
		});
		frame.getContentPane().add(comboBox);
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Replace the method focusGained() given in the example source code above by this version:

public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
	Component editor = comboBox.getEditor().getEditorComponent();
	if (editor instanceof JTextComponent) {
		((JTextComponent) editor).selectAll();
	}
}
