I like the Core Java Books, volume 2 covers Swing detailed.

Any 1.4 book should still work. The Swing API remained basically the
same from 1.4 to 1.5.

Swing got one new package (the synth PLAF), but that one is so badly
documented that "no one" touches it. There are minor changes here and
there in the API, but nothing fundamental.

For a list of changes the release notes in the JDK should do.
