jSilhouette provides a collection of Java2D shapes that can be used in several modes
- regular Java2D: as you would with the standard shapes that come with the JDK

The documentation is a bit scarce right now but you can read additional info at
- GraphicsBuilder's Shapes
- GraphicsBuilder's posts (look for the shape related ones)
Each module includes a demo Ant target that can be used to launch a basic app that demonstrates the shapes in action.
