enable transitions on java image change
I'm writing a small application which aims to display a catalogue on screen. The window is splitted in three main blocks:
On the left I have the articles' list, on the right a panel for image rendering and under this last component I have some labels for the information.

Now when I select an article I paint the image on the panel and fill the information's into the labels. When I have more than one image associated with the selected article I start a swing timer and I swap the images Evey 5 seconds...

How can I make the photo change more pretty introducing some fancy animations on image change? Do you know any library that could me help?
If you do that directly by code an example and a little explanation would be great.

Thanks in advance
Marco
