Java datePicker - How to set default date in JTextfield

Question

Im using a DatePicker as part of a form. What i would like is for todays date to be in the JTexfield thats with the JDatePicker when the form opens.

If i use :

            UtilDateModel model = new UtilDateModel();
    model.setDate(2014, 06, 06);
    JDatePanelImpl datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model);
    JDatePickerImpl datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel);

All it does is set the date in the popup box. What i need it to do is be on the form as soon as it opens

I want it to be like this when its first opened.

But its like this

model.setSelected(true);
