I think you could just keep a vector of (color,shape) pairs as an atom, and reify a subclass of JPanel whose paint() method closes around that atom, calling (.draw shape color). Then as long as you call repaint every time you modify the atom, you should be done. Seems like it's hard to see a library making this much easier, as there's not much incidental complexity to begin with. And alpha will be trivial, since java.awt.Color supports alpha values - you won't even have to know about it.
