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?

I few questions to thinking about:
 - If the label and icon is not accessible then should we say something? Or we should ignore it like we do for any other non-accessible components?
 - Why the image text is used, don't we need to use the "javax.accessibility.AccessibleRole#ICON" role for such label/icon and allow the reader to say something standard for the icon. Does the voiceover has some default text for the icon/image when the alt text is not set?
