Jump to PostI don't, but this guy does :)
Jump to PostAffineTransform.
You create an instance of AffineTransform that maps the rotation you want and apply that to a Graphics2D instance with setTransform(...). Paint your icon to the Graphics2D and hey-presto, you have a rotated icon.
Here's a quick intro:
