I often find myself wanting to just print (using the implicit toString() of each object) every argument to a method in Java. Is there a quick way of accomplishing this?

Java programming language doesn’t have a construct to do this. However, you can do it with one of the AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) packages, such as AspectJ.
In particular this thread might be a good starting point on how to achieve this:

My personal opinion, however, is that most of the time AOP is a scary overkill.
UPDATE: Oh, here’s an easier way using Spring AOP, assuming you can use Spring.
Generally, Spring is much easier to use than pure AspectJ.
