This is, at least to me, more annotation-like programming style, but not very Aspect :).

[...] Seems a few folks don’t get what my previous post about the Swing Style Aspect was all about, so I decied to answer a few of the comments in a post. First and foremost, this is merely a proof-of-concept and means of playing with AOP. Second, aspects provide another way of doing things and the results can certainly be achieved through other means. You don’t have to like or use AOP, but I do and I’m simply playing with idea here. [...]

Don’t see the benefit? This is one of the reasons why web interfaces are a lot quicker and easier to style than Swing ones.

I can’t see the benefit. What you do with aspect is what you usually do in a look and feel. Hence for me this is the wrong way. What is your motivation to solve this problem with aspects?

You could use a factory pattern to do this:

JLabel name1 = FactoryJLabel.create(”Name 1″,”meduimGray”);

Aspects are not the answers to everything. Use it only when you cannot find an elegant solution in plain Java.

Why do you need aspects for that?

JLabel createLabel(String text)
{
JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
label.setFont(new Font(”Verdana”, 10));
label.setBackground(new Color(172, 172, 172));
return label;
}

Seems easier.
