Summary: Select all upon entering field

Initial Comment:
I would love it if the transaction entry fields would select all current text upon entering the field. This would make entering transactions for common payees much simpler, and less time consuming.

We have worked on this enhancement and have the additions needed to make
the payee, memo, and amount field select all the text when you click in it.
All the code changes are in one file:

src/jgnash/ui/register:
AbstractBankTransactionPanel.java

The two areas you need to add code are in the constructor method right
after line 119:

                if (memoField instanceof AutoCompleteTextField) {
			memoField.addFocusListener(new PayeeFocusListener());
		}
		if (amountField instanceof JFloatField) {
			amountField.addFocusListener(new PayeeFocusListener());
		}

and in the focusGained method right after line 336:

                        payeeField.selectAll();
			amountField.selectAll();
			memoField.selectAll();


If you do these changes then they will all select all the text for these
fields to help people change the text quicker. Let us know if you have any
questions.
