I prefer using JFormattedTextField.
Hopefully following can give u some hints.
----------------------------------------
import javax.swing.JFormattedTextField
import javax.swing.text.DefaultFormatterFactory;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import javax.swing.text.NumberFormatter;
...
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
format.setMaximumIntegerDigits(3);
NumberFormatter formatter = new NumberFormatter(format);
formatter.setAllowsInvalid(false);
formatter.setMinimum(new Integer(0));
formatter.setMaximum(new Integer(255));
...
------------------------------------------
If you need more flexible&custmozied requirements, you probably need to overwrite some functions of "Formatter" or create you owner "Format" class.

here is the official tutorial:

Check your instructions. I believe you must use Swing for all your GUI components.
Another way to do it is to add KeyListener to JTextField to check the input character. Consume the event if the character is not a digit.
