This is reproducible on Linux and Windows platforms with jdk7 b27 PIT build. Not reproducible with 6u10 b23.

processFocusEvent method of a component is not called when a FocusEvent is dispatched to event queue even after enableEvents is called for the component.

To reproduce:
Run the below test. If a message 'processing focus event' is not printed on console, but is reproduced.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class TestButton extends Button {
    
    public TestButton() {   
        enableEvents(AWTEvent.FOCUS_EVENT_MASK);
    }
	
    public void processFocusEvent(FocusEvent fe) {
        System.out.println("processing focus event");
        System.exit(0);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TestButton b = new TestButton();
        EventQueue eventQ = new EventQueue();
        FocusEvent focusEvent = new FocusEvent(b, FocusEvent.FOCUS_GAINED);
        eventQ.postEvent(focusEvent);
    }
}
