How do I fade an image in swing?

by

You can do the threading yourself, but it might be easier to use the Trident library to handle it. If you create a setter on your class called (say, setOpacity), you can ask trident to interpolate the “opacity” field from 1.0 to 0.0 over a specific period of time (here’s some of the docs on how to use Trident).

When you’re painting the image, you can do the transparency with an AlphaComposite, using the updated “opacity” value for the composite’s alpha parameter. There is a Sun tutorial that includes an alpha composite example.
