Java graphic 2D library to draw ER diagrams?

Question

I'm looking for a Java 2D graphics library to draw a E-R Diagram from a MySQL database, anyone know something like that?

With a 2D Java library graphic I need to draw entities, relationships, foreign keys, primary keys, and attributes.
Optionally, the entities maybe be dragged in the diagram.

I would use Graphics2D for Java? What do you think? Any recommendations?

Thanks.

If you just want to draw E/R diagrams for MySQL, I'd recommend trying MySQL Workbench.

If your objective is to learn Java 2D or OpenGL, have at it.
