I need to display the YouTube's video thumbnail image for every video searched or featured. I just need the syntax and method to implement it in my java swing application.

You can load the thumbnails directly via web request. Take a look at How do I get a YouTube video thumbnail from the YouTube API?

EDIT

Here are some sample links:

Assuming you get the SearchListResponse from youtube v3 data api. Now you can easily fetch the thumb url using following code. 

SearchListResponse response = // data fetched from yt data api.
java.util.List<SearchResult> searchResultList = response.getItems();
for (SearchResult sr : searchResultList) {
   String thumburl = sr.getSnippet().getThumbnails().getDefault().getUrl();
//for high resolution you can use:  sr.getSnippet().getThumbnails().getHigh().getUrl();
}
