Yes, it's just providing an anonymous inner class implementation of JPanel on initialization. You have probably seen it before with action listeners, Comparators, Runnables that are being handed off to a thread, etc.

yes, but i haven't seen it used to override paintcomponent(), would it work with paint()? (i assume so)

Sure, it's not limited to specific methods, though if you are wanting to override quite a few or manage complex state, it is usually better to just go ahead and declare a normal inner class (or top-level if it would be useful outside the context of the containing class).

Often anonymous inner classes are used for "function objects" that specify a single method implementation, like actionPerformed() for a button listener. Such usage can be considered similar to function pointers in C++.
