That is 'Java swing'.

By coding it. What do you expect people to say?
The Swing trail of the Java Tutorial should
give you plenty to work with, though if you
get stuck, I suggest coming back with a more
specific question.

By typing your phrase into a search-engine:

you would have quickly found this

It's called Swing not swings (no s at the end!)
If you use the proper name, you should find the tutorials quite easily (as others have shown)

1. Download NetBeans. Choose the Java SE download at
<http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.0/final/>. If you don't have
a broadband Internet connection get the free DVD instead
<http://www.netbeans.org/about/media.html>.
2. Choose File->New Project from the menu then choose Java and Java
Desktop Application from the Choose Project screen of the wizard.
Leave the defaults in the New Desktop Application screen and select
Basic Application before you click Finish.
3 Choose Run->Run Main Project from the menu. Note that you have just
achieved your goal of a working GUI in Java and it took about ten
minutes. Try you program's Help->About menu. It works! The only other
thing your program will do is stop when you choose File->Exit.
I assume you really want your program to do something more and you
will need to drag and drop Swing components from the NetBeans palette
to your form and add Java code to instruct your program what to do.
Try it, a small step at a time. NetBeans is always available as a
tutor and can advise you about the errors in your program, the code
that might come next or the libraries you need and their
documentation.
You will end up reading a high proportion of the tutorials that other
posters have recommended but I find the "top down" approach is more
rewarding.

I have written all kinds of them with free source you can look at.
Pick one that interests you from
http://mindprod.com/applet/applets.html
download the source, study it, then start playing with it, making
simple modifications, e.g. changing colours and fonts, text labels.
Then work up to more major changes, adding buttons, changing the
layout...
