Graphic inside a Graphic!! (rotate string inside a graphic)

Question

I am trying to rotate a string inside a graphic. How would i do that? I can write a string in but cannot rotate it. I used have the following:
String s = "Hello";
g2.drawString(s,
bar.x + bar.width/2 - textWidth/2,
bar.y + bar.height + textHeight + textSep);
How can i rotate "s"? Do i need graphic inside graphic?

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
        AffineTransform aft = new AffineTransform();
        aft.setToTranslation(100.0, 100.0);
        g2D.transform(aft);
        aft.setToRotation(Math.PI / 8.0);
        String s = "Rotated Hello World";
        for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
            g2D.drawString(s, 0.0f, 0.0f);
            g2D.transform(aft);
}
