I have a java project in which I am trying to make an effect similar to the hover in CSS, changing the color(icon) every time the mouse passes over a jlabel, but I realized that I am using several methods that do the same thing.

My question is if there is a possibility to unify all of them in a single method or if there is a simpler way to do this kind of animations with a library or something like that.

JButton supports image rollover, which would be a much simper solution
