There are a number of simple matchers provided in the library, NameMatcher is among them.

Since then, a post by Liz Keogh on the ExtremeProgramming yahoogroup led me to another option. It a wrapper around Swing written in conjunction with JBehave, but as Liz points out, it’s not dependent on the framework and can happily be used with JUnit, also. I like the fact that it’s really lightweight and fast. [...] […] Recently, I wrote about using the JfcUnit and Abbot frameworks to test-drive the creation of a Java Swing GUI.
