Java Swing - How do I add an appearing effect for JLabel?

Question

I have to create a menu bar with a logo panel at far end of the bar and I have done it. But It's required that logo must have "appearing" effect? How can I do it?

What exactly do you mean by appearing effect? An animation on start of the program (e.g. the label flying in), hover/mouseover effect or something completely different? — Lukas Rotter, May 07 '16 at 16:59
yeah, label has the effect. It's something like effects in MS powerpoint(fly in, float in... )... Can you help me please? — Trần Nam, May 07 '16 at 17:05
Please tell us which of the effects the desired effect is, so we can provide more specific help. Generally, you could use a [`Timer`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/timer.html) for the animation. — Lukas Rotter, May 07 '16 at 17:10
I need a simple example to understand it, so you can help me using any effect that you think it's easy to understand xD — Trần Nam, May 07 '16 at 17:17

I'm not exactly sure what you mean with "appearring effect", but if you want to create some color effects, you could extend the JLabel class and add some custom Color/Image Effects. Maybe this example for creating a JLabel with various effects gets you started.
