I would like some advice:
I am learning how to use swing and I have an assigment which proposes to make an application where user can choose from one combo box the JPanel's background's color (implemented as a custom Beam). Also we have other combo box to choose a shape's color. The user needs to move the cursor and watch five ovals following it. So then I have done all the interface and I learnt how to use the timer to repaint the canvas every 100 ms.
INTERFACE:
So how can I be able to store oval's lasts five positions? My code:

In addition, I do not understand why the current oval which draws correctly under the cursor, is painted well but the second one which follows it blinks. Plus why do I have two ovals, am I not keeping the 5 last positions and repainting them?
Thank you for your time sincerely.
