Focus on a frame

Hi all,

how can I get a JFrame to be the focused window on top of all others?
I've tried

setAlwaysOnTop(true);
requestFocusInWindow();

but it didn't work.
I also tried

setAlwaysOnTop(true);
requestFocus();

but it seems that those aren't the right methods to do that.
Does anybody knows how can I get the frame to be on top of all others
and be the focused window?

To some extent, it depends where, when,
under what circumstances these methods
are called. A quick test here showed
no problems getting focus (Win XP, Java 6)
to the second of three JFrames using
requestFocus().

Can you provide an SSCCE that shows
this behaviour?
