Java Swing Chatroom in a JTextPane?

Question

I am looking for good advises in order to make this chatroom :

with Java Swing. I have bee trying all the java swing components for 3 days but I still don't know what to choose.

The container will also have to insert JprogressBars for file transfert. That's why I thought the JTextPane would be a good idea. I could add the icon but I don't know how to structure the paragraph as it is on the picture (sorry I am a newby).

Thank you very much in advance for you help.

Best Regards,

Here's a very basic example and a helpful tutorial. A standards-based approach will involve learning about XMPP.
