techically, the answer is to use a PropertyChangeListener and listen to changes of the "text" property, something like

 PropertyChangeListener l = new PropertyChangeListener() {
       public void propertyChanged(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
           // do stuff here
       }
 };
 label.addPropertyChangeListener("text", l);

not so technically: could be worth to re-visit the overall design and bind to original source which triggered the change in the label
