Answer 1

As Andrew Thompson put it, there are a lot of choices in Java and so I would suggest you will probably want to start with the GUI introduction from the official documentation to get familiar yourself with the concept and terminology.

Then you can start to do the Java GUI tutorial (example swing) and I think this site is good on the tutorial. If you want your application to look and feel like what you have in Windows application, then take a look at this example code.

Last but not least, you will probably want to install this plugin from google to your eclipse as it assist very much during Java GUI development.
