Problem with key listener

[Mikelmao]

Hey, Im new to java and new to these forums and im having a problem with my code.
Im trying to make a simple 2d game but till now it hasnt really been working out much =\...

I'm trying to add 3 classes as listeners 1 is mouse motion class, mouse click and keyboard class.

The GUI class is the first one to run (after my frame class to run the JFrame, the GUI class is the JPanel) The constructor of my GUI class looks like this:

p = new Player();
		mm = new MouseMotion(p);
		key = new Keyboard(p);
		addMouseMotionListener(mm);
		addKeyListener(key);
		refresh = new Timer(5, this);
		refresh.start();

all the var's are declaired in the class..
the mouseMotionListener works perfectly but the keyboard class doesnt (the mouse clicked i havnt implemented yet.). This is my keyboard class:

import java.awt.event.*;


public class Keyboard implements KeyListener {
	Player p;
	public Keyboard(Player p) {
		this.p = p;
	}
	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
	}

	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		System.out.println("TEST");
		int key = e.getKeyCode();
		if(key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
			p.moving = 1;
		}
		if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
			p.moving = -1;
		}
	}
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
		int key = e.getKeyCode();
		if(key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
			p.moving = 0;
		}
		if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
			p.moving = 0;
		}
	}
}

When i press a button the text "TEST" doesnt display in the terminal so the listener isnt doing its job...

What am i doing wrong here and how could i fix this?

[EDIT] I'v tried letting the class extends KeyAdapter but it also doesnt work
Thanks for taking the time to read my problem :)

For a KeyListener to do its stuff, the component to which it is added must have the focus.

If this is a Swing GUI, the recommended approach is to use key bindings instead.
