Also try dock.javaforge.com - looks well, was recently updated and is licensed under the more permissive LGPL 2.1.

If you mean to use a Swing docking framework in your application, there are some of them already existing:
However, if you mean adding a pure Java dock in the spirit of things like YzDock or other ones (The GNOME-DO extension is an other example), I think you'll have no other solution but to do it yourself. Fortunatly, there is some kind of prior art (yes, it uses text instead of images, but it's only a matter of JMenuItem
/JButton
contents).
