Jump to Posttf2.setText(tf1.getText());in an ActionListener. If you don't know what an ActionListener is, or how to use one, then read the Swing Tutorials. (addActionListener on a JTextField will cause "Enter" to fire an ActionEvent)

You cannot move one TextField to another. If you want to change focus, use the focusListeners, and/or the keyListeners.
I think there is a method at TextField that sets the focus.
If you want to write to a text Field something from another use the getText(), setText() methods. Also check the API for more details about the syntax
