The answer is Manning's new book Swing authored by Mathew Robinson and Pavel Vorobiev. And that is my final answer. Even with such a powerful next generation API at your fingertips it can be still overwhelming.
Swing is a wonderful book that lightens the burden.
It presents a complex subject in smaller manageable portions for the programmer who has learned the basics and wants to go much further. This excellent book is impossible to take in the first time, because of the scope and breadth of its subject matter. I think you will find that it hits and hits its target audience and goals again and again. It does not fail to satisfy. A massive quality and quantity win-win for Manning.
