31 * The listener interface for receiving container events.
32 * The class that is interested in processing a container event
33 * either implements this interface (and all the methods it
34 * contains) or extends the abstract <code>ContainerAdapter</code> class
35 * (overriding only the methods of interest).
36 * The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
37 * component using the component's <code>addContainerListener</code>
38 * method. When the container's contents change because a component
39 * has been added or removed, the relevant method in the listener object
40 * is invoked, and the <code>ContainerEvent</code> is passed to it.
41 * <P>
42 * Container events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
43 * The AWT will automatically handle add and remove operations
44 * internally so the program works properly regardless of
45 * whether the program registers a <code>ComponentListener</code> or not.
