Java - Determining if two Ellipses intersect

I'm creating a 2D topdown shooter game with Java Swing in which I want circular hitboxes for my player and enemies as well as projectiles. For hit detection I need to figure out if there is an intersection between a projtile and a Sprite (player or enemy). My issue is that Ellipse2D's intersect function (that takes a position a width and height) creates a Rectangle out of the arguments. In its description it advises using Area for high precision and I was hoping it had an intersect function for any shape but that also casts its argument to a Rectangle.
Here's the jist of my Sprite object:
public class Sprite {
protected float worldX;
protected float worldY;
protected float drawX;
protected float drawY;
protected int width;
protected int height;
protected Image image;
...
}
In essence I'm storing their x and y coordinates as well as their width and height.(drawX and drawY are only used for rendering)
Is there a build-in method (preferably in Swing) to intersect Ellipses with other shapes (specifically other Ellipses and Rectangles) or is there no better option then implementing these by hand?

With a simple modification to the answer form Detecting collision of two sprites that can rotate

How to rotate something with Graphics2D

So I want to rotate this Rectangle I made
public void paint (Graphics g)
{
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.fillRect(10, 10, 30, 30);
g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(45)); //I tried this but doesn't seem to work...
}
How do I do that? Rotate as in rotate in 45* angle or 200* angle.

It really isn't that hard to rotate objects. Most of the code below is simply boiler plate to create the frames and panels. Here is a demo that shows two methods that were mentioned in the comments.
the left panel simply rotates the graphics context. This is, imo, the easiest method but it does not alter the object.
the right panel uses the AffineTransform to rotate the object. This actually changes the contents of the shape.
If the desire is to rotate an object in place it is necessary to ensure one is rotating about the middle of the image that is under rotation. In both cases below that would be (125,125) or the center of both the panels and the rectangle.

Following up on my comment, I created the following GUI.
I used math to calculate the four endpoints of a rotated rectangle and used the Graphics2D fillPolygon method to draw the rectangle.
The buttons at the bottom of the GUI allow you to rotate the rectangle on the center point or the upper left endpoint.
I created a drawing JPanel to draw the rectangle. All the paintComponent method of the drawing JPanel does is draw the Polygon returned by the application model.
The application model is a key part of this application. I create a plain Java getter / setter class. I start with a java.awt.Rectangle and use polar coordinates to rotate the rectangle. I convert the polar coordinates back to cartesian coordinates to get the four endpoints of the Polygon.
Here's the complete runnable code.

Drawing Hexagon Using Java error

i written a code to draw a hexagon. First i plot the 6 points using this formula :
(x + r*cos(i*2*pi/6), y + r*sin(i*2*pi/6))
then after i plot these points i tried to match between the points using Bresnham's Algorithm for drawing lines which i had implemented it in a method.
Unfortunately the Code doesn't work successfully and i get this instead of the hexagon. I think there is an error with Bresnham's algorithm implementation. In addition, I tried to plot each point alone but it wont work.
If anyone can help me?

You were drawing on the JFrame. Never draw on a JFrame. Always draw on a JPanel.
Here's the GUI.
Here are the major changes I made.
I moved the creation of the hexagon into its own class, Hexagon. That way, you can create a List of Hexagons if you want.
I moved the creation of the drawing panel into its own class, DrawingPanel. That way, I have a GUI view class that draws the hexagon, and a GUI model class that generates the hexagons. A nice, clean separation of concerns.
This left the JFrame code and the instantiation of a Hexagon object in the constructor of the LinesDrawingExample class.
Here's the code.
package com.ggl.testing;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.Polygon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);

g.drawPolygon(hexagon.getHexagon());
}
}
public class Hexagon {
private final int radius;
private final Point center;
private final Polygon hexagon;
public Hexagon(Point center, int radius) {
this.center = center;
this.radius = radius;
this.hexagon = createHexagon();
}
private Polygon createHexagon() {
Polygon polygon = new Polygon();
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
int xval = (int) (center.x + radius
* Math.cos(i * 2 * Math.PI / 6D));
int yval = (int) (center.y + radius
* Math.sin(i * 2 * Math.PI / 6D));
polygon.addPoint(xval, yval);
}
return polygon;
}
public int getRadius() {
return radius;
}
public Point getCenter() {
return center;
}
public Polygon getHexagon() {
return hexagon;
}
}
}

You shouldn't override paint(g). Override paintComponent(g) instead. You can use a loop to plots all the points needed for a polygon.
Plot the points and create a Polygon object, then draw the polygon object:
public class DrawPolyPanel extends JPanel{
public DrawPolyPanel(){
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
Polygon p = new Polygon();
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
p.addPoint((int) (100 + 50 * Math.cos(i * 2 * Math.PI / 6)),
(int) (100 + 50 * Math.sin(i * 2 * Math.PI / 6)));
g.drawPolygon(p);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("DrawPoly");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new DrawPolyPanel());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

Resizing a Path2D shape when user clicks and drags

So, I have a program that adds a square to a JPanel and lets the user drag the shape around the panel. What I want to do is be able to click on the bottom-right corner of the shape and resize it as the user drags it. I'm kind of stuck on how to do this. I know that as the user drags it will need to recalculate the rectangle's length and width to make the bottom right corner match where the mouse is. But how can I detect a click on the bottom right edge of the rectangle? Thanks for any help.

I wrote a couple of things back in the day that might be helpful to you
To start, AreaManager (http://sourceforge.net/p/tus/code/HEAD/tree/tjacobs/ui/shape/) This is kind of what you want, in that it's dealing with Shapes (Area's, actually). There's a dragger class which uses mouse drag, and a resizer class that uses the mouse wheel. But this isn't exactly the user interface you've described.
That user interface for doing changing the cursor and resizing based on the type of cursor and the mouse drag is in Draggable in http://sourceforge.net/p/tus/code/HEAD/tree/tjacobs/ui/drag/. Draggable works with Components that are contained in Containers with the layoutmanager turned off. But it should be not so complicated to adapt to your purposes

Using Slider to rotate Object In java

I have made a GUI that uses a slider to scale an object up and down.(in this case a rectangle). I was wondering if there was a way to also use a slider to specify a degree of rotation. So there would be 2 sliders one to control scale and another to control the rotation. If anyone could help me make this that would be great here is what I have so far with just the scale slider.

Okay, I've been playing around with this for a while I would normally use a AffineTransform for this, but it was giving me weird results I couldn't resolve...

Basically this uses the Graphics APIs capabilities, for simplicity (in particular with the spinning), the Graphics context is translated to the origin point. The rectangle is then paint around this origin point to allow it to be zoomed and rotate about it's center
