To create animations in Java, using java.awt and javax.swing for drawing on a JPanel is a common approach, but it can be challenging for novices. JavaFX is recommended as a more modern alternative that simplifies animation creation and offers better graphical capabilities. Since the programmer does not have web access, focusing on JavaFX for desktop applications is advisable. Resources and documentation for JavaFX animations are available online to assist with implementation. Exploring JavaFX can lead to more successful and visually appealing animations.

I am a novice programmer and I need to create an Animation using Java. Basically, this animation needs to consist of moving ellipses on a graph. Does anyone have suggestions as to the easiest way to go about doing this? I've been looking into using java.awt and javax.swing to draw the graphics in a JPanel and hopefully move them. It doesn't seem to be working out well.

I've read about Applets and I understand that they are used along with a web browser. On the system I'm working on I have no access to the web.

Please, any suggestions would be very helpful!
