Eclipse & Java: Is there an event monitoring feature?

When developing java guis (e.g. swing) in eclipse, is there a built-in feature (or plugin) that allows one to monitor all the events that are fired?

You can also write an AWTEventListener on your own. Just add the following lines to your program.

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(new AWTEventListener() {
    public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event) {
        System.out.println(event);
    }
}, -1);

Replace the output with anything you like. You can also listen to particular events only by changing -1 to some constants from AWTEvent.
