There's a class JLayer which provides the basics.  You'll have to 
provide a fair amount of code though;  I'm not aware of any class that 
provides a lightbox feature.

There's also a book call Swing Hacks which has some interesting ideas, 
including an animated window similar to what you are asking for.  Still 
not exactly a lightbox however.
