The macro is a code generator, with which the compiler computes the actual definition of the "test" function. What's there is x, and the macro does not like x. The REPL definition of JLabel worked because JLabel was the literal argument. See https://clojure.org/reference/macros, which is subtle about this point, or the excellent book "Mastering Clojure Macros".
