Warning: If you are new to programming, then Swing, and the event handling that it entails may require a huge learning curve.

Good point by HonorGod about possibly being new to programming.
What experience in programming do you have?
If Java is your first programming language, I think the advice should be quite different than if have extensive experience with C++ (for example).

The book I mentioned, Objects First with Java has only one chapter on SwingJ. It would be a good book for someone learning his first OOP language and that's not you. You can still download the BlueJ IDE for free but others work well too. I suggest you follow earlier advice and go with Netbeans or Eclipse. (Me, I'd download both and try both to see which one you like better.)
Remember that functions are called methods in Java (or the Java word-police will hunt you down...j/k).
