I want to perform some actions upon the edit of a the content of a textField. Is a documentListner the easiest way? I've looked at these and they seem a bit complex.

I think a DocumentListener is your best bet. You should be able to detect actual 'edit' type actions by the user. If you less demanding in what you interpret as an 'edit', then a combination of KeyListener and MouseListener might be easier to figure, but they would fire when anything happens inside the field, whether anything was changed or not.
