A very short design suggestion:
Make a JPanel extension, override the paintComponent method and draw the ball there. Stuff this panel into the JFrame, implement a thread in the JPanel extension. In its run method you code a loop/sleep that increments the ball coordinates as appropriate and repaints the panel on each loop.
