Java (2D) animation library

I'm creating (for a semester project) a Java desktop application. The aim is to provide a rich and intuitive user interface. I'm now looking for Java cross-platform library that works with Swing and provides animations (moving, resizing, rotation, color/alpha change and other 2D stuff). Basically, I'm looking for an equivalent of CoreAnimation in the JavaWorld.

I开发者_Python百科 found Trident, but have no experience with it and no development seems to have taken place since mid-2010.

Does anyone of you have experience with Trident or can recommend a library that fits what I need?

Hi I have no deep knowledge of this but I had a look at trident a year ago and it looked well designed, feature complete and stable.

I would go with that one if you find nothing better. You have to browse the blog of Kiril at pushingpixels.org to get some additional good examples.

Have fun, - Rossi

Use libgdx awesome library!!
