34: * The listener interface for receiving notification of events
35: * dispatched to objects that are instances of Component or
36: * MenuComponent or their subclasses. Unlike the other EventListeners
37: * in this package, AWTEventListeners passively observe events
38: * being dispatched in the AWT, system-wide. Most applications
39: * should never use this class; applications which might use
40: * AWTEventListeners include event recorders for automated testing,
41: * and facilities such as the Java Accessibility package.
42: * <p>
43: * The class that is interested in monitoring AWT events
44: * implements this interface, and the object created with that
45: * class is registered with the Toolkit, using the Toolkit's
46: * <code>addAWTEventListener</code> method. When an event is
47: * dispatched anywhere in the AWT, that object's
48: * <code>eventDispatcheded</code> method is invoked.
