The O'reilly book is kind of tough to read, I think. But it's big and very thorough. It's probably the book to get, if you only get one.

Try "The Definitive Guide To Swing For Java2" by John Zukowski prublished by APress. It contains many snippets which you can borrow and modify to fit your own needs.
