You need an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) and Hibernate is the most commonly used, Hibernate can also be used standalone, not only in Java EE environment.
JavaBrains video tutorial is 34 lessons, well explained and easy to understand, I highly recommend you. The author is not a native English speaker, so if you look past the accent, it's a great content.

Why not use a JPA like Hibernate or EclipseLink? They work just fine in a J2SE environment, the only difference is how you obtain the EntityManager reference. (By creating the EntityManagerFactory directly as opposed to Container Managed Injection)
factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(PERSISTENCE_UNIT_NAME);
EntityManager em = factory.createEntityManager();
