Sounds like you could use the Creating a GUI with Swing Tutorial. It has the answers to your questions like The structure of JFrame. As for the complete Swing hierarchy, either look at the Java Documentation starting with the javax.swing package or use the tutorial's visual index.

Most of swing components are lightweight which means that swing components don't allocate the platform resoures like those of awt components. Yes, for Frame and Applet, you can add them directly but for not JApplet and JFrame. You have to first getContendPane as a place holder.
In addition, you need to override the paintComponent instead of paint. If I am short, please amend it, would you JGurus?
