CSS is a simple mechanism for adding style such as fonts, colors, and spacing to Web documents. This technology remains today confined to HTML and XML documents, although its principles are suitable for other domains.

Most Swing components can be styled. However, the added value becomes more obvious as the components get more complex. This is why Table, Tree, and List are good candidates.
