This is way off-topic.  I do a lot of swing development and I have a
library that I have worked on that uses reflection to allow someone to
bind methods to swing events using annotations (or through code without
subclassing/implementing listeners, for that matter).  The library
hasn't been released yet because it is pretty beta and was just a pet
project I was working on.  If such a library would help you, let me know
off-list.

Thanks,
