I need to do in Java, that in a JTextField only data can be copied, that is:
- not allow data to be entered directly from the keyboard
- just allow a data to be copied from another side and pasted into the JTextField.
Is this possible?

JTextField by default creates a keymap interface also referenced as DEFAULT_KEYMAP .
A Keymap (shared by all instances JTextComponent ) allows an application to join keystrokes to actions; Within those minimum actions are:
Passing null to setKeymap() is inactive the keyboard entry but still with the ability to paste the data from the clipboard.
miCampo.setKeymap(null);
Source: Documentation of JTextComponent .
can be done by the method:
jTextField = new JTextField();
jTextField.setEditable(false); //no permite editar "a mano", pero si copiar
jTextField.setText("test2"); // ejemplo de edición aceptado
