Knowledge of Swing's JComponents and JPanel with Layout Managment will do you good. Try googling "Java Swing" or "Java AWT". You will find some good shit!

What do you already know about java? The main java gui lib is Swing, so I would recommend looking into that. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/ Also Netbeans which you can get from sun comes with a gui builder for java that is a drag and drop type of creator.

Alot of things that can be used, so you'd need to be quite specific on the user interactivity you want

When I make GUI programs in Java I always no matter what need to import the following packages:

java.awt.*;
java.awt.event.*;
javax.swing.*;

"java.awt" has several packages you will want to use when creating a GUI program, such as Color and Graphics. "java.awt.event" has all of the listening interfaces, such as MouseListener and KeyListener. And of course "javax.swing" has the GUI packages.

Of course, learning how to use these packages is up to you, but at least now you have a place to start.
