Your question is not very well specified. My guess is that you mean you
are asking about how to do shading.
I don't know of a simple way to shade a circle to appear as a sphere in
Java2D. The built-in fill only has a gradient (java.awt.GradientPaint).

You will probably need to implement the Paint and Transparency interfaces
to get the effect you desire. The GradientPaint source code will
illustrate how to do that.
The VisAD toolkit may be helpful (or not since it probably uses Java3D for
what you want):
