Just click on the JFreeChart [Memory Usage](http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/jfreechart-1.0.13-demo.jnlp) tab. – trashgod May 30 '11 at 15:29

@Sorrow, not sure an indeterminate jprogress bar is what the OP is looking for. – Codemwnci May 30 '11 at 15:31

1I'm not really sure what the OP wants as "some attractive way" is subjective to the extreme. Perhaps you should post a picture to indicate the desired goal? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels May 30 '11 at 16:41

If you are looking for more attractive design. I could suggest you a couple of things:
1-Have a look at javaFX progress bars , you might find something interesting http://download.oracle.com/javafx/1.3/tutorials/UIControls/progress.html
2-If you use the standar progress bar from the java tutorial maybe you could try to edit it yourself. Have a look at this link
Example of self customization:
UIManager.put("ProgressBar.background",Color.BLUE);
