Canvas sounds about right.

Not that I can thing of but you may use canvas in
conjunction with Swing components:
// within a JFrame or dialog
// set up your canvas as follows
// Canvas canv = new Canvas(someConfiguration)
// someConfiguration may be deduced via
// GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment()
// .getDefaultScreenDevice()
// .getBestConfiguration(template);
// add your canvas to your JDialog or JFrame
getContentPane().add(canv);

probably to do with paint issues (i.e. you may have to
introduce a focusListener and make sure you paint your
components depending on focus being gained and lost from
your menuItems).
If I'm misleading or have misunderstood your Q's, my apologies...
Good luck
