Touch screen supported API for desktop development in Java Swing?

Question

I'm developing a system that will eventually be implemented on a touch-screen supported machines such as HP Touchsmart.

Are there any relevant references in java swing api that support flicking pages to scroll up/down (such as in iphone/android phone)? Any general references to any swing api that support touch/multi-touch are also appreciated.

Thanks!

I think that you should look for some kind of mouse gesture library since Java will see touchscreen just like any other "mouse". It would be nice to see Swing L&F specialized for touch screens that takes care of mouse gestures and size of the controls.
