Use a JLabel bean to provide a text label for your user interface. You can add a graphic to the label as well as text. You can also define a mnemonic in the label as a means of quick access to a text input field.
Use a Label bean, rather than a JLabel bean, if you want to use it in an AWT container. Although Swing and AWT beans can be mixed, it is inadvisable.
