Answer 1

Jlayer class can help you.

The JLayer class is a flexible and powerful decorator for Swing components. It enables you to draw on components and respond to component events without modifying the underlying component directly.

Answer 2

I found a library called Jtoaster, Java Toaster is a java utility class for your swing applications that show an animate box coming from the bottom of your screen with a notification message and/or an associated image (like msn online/offline notifications) (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtoaster/

Toaster toasterManager = new Toaster();
toasterManager.showToaster("Hello, this is notification");
