Well the Java 2D API might help you out
All you need to do it check that out and you'll be on you way in no time even if you know very little about Swing, because its not really required. AWT events are needed more though for getting user inputs but its not too hard to work you. Java2D is a rather rich API for this sort of thing

Java2D for drawing
Swing/AWT events for user interaction
SwingTimers/Threads for animations (and how to use Threads with Swing - aka the Swing single threaded model)
elementary physics for things like game responses (such as a ball changing trajectories)
Re: Theory behind 2d Game making?
Swing/AWT for the window
OpenGL bindings for the graphics
