I'd suggest you take a look at the Sun site:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/components.html

which explains at least the basics of Java's visual components.

Why you are both so quick to rush in with Swing based suggestions
when the only class the OP mentioned by name is AWT?

* In any case a JPanel is more than you need for a rendering surface..

I suspect the OP would be better served by reading the Graphics tutorials,
rather than Swing tutorials, since it seems graphics/painting is the crux
of the question.

So, suggestions for further reading are..
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/display/>
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/overview/rendering.html>

[ But I might have completely misread the OP's question myself,
since it is not entirely clear what it means. ]
