Add an ActionListener (or FocusListener) to your textfields that keeps track of which textfields have been filled out (or accessed). Then have the listener enable the OK button. As far as using the Enter key to launch the OK function, you'll just need to add a KeyListener that checks with the other listener (above) to see if all the fields are done, and then calls the same code your normal OK button ActionListener does.

Add a keylistener to your textfield as below:
loginTxt.addKeyListener( new KeyAdapter()
{
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke)
{
//enable /disable your buttons..
}
});
