Probably it should somehow ask the icon itself about possible description? I guess the JLabel should work similar to Icon/ImageIcon/AccessibleImageIcon/etc when the text is empty but the icon is set. But I am not sure that the iicons are supported by the a11y in Swing, for example how the reader will cover the simple Icon? Will it say something?
