I think the easiest way to do that would be to render the background
yourself at the paintComponent level. You might study the code Sun
uses for creating rounded buttons.

The fastest code would pre-draw square images for the corners. Blast
the background to a single colour with fillRectangle then plop your
corners in on top. You could even prepare the corners in a paint
program with anti-aliasing or other fancy effects.

available canned to use.
