/**
* The listener interface for receiving component events.
* The class that is interested in processing a component event
* either implements this interface (and all the methods it
* contains) or extends the abstract <code>ComponentAdapter</code> class
* (overriding only the methods of interest).
* The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
* component using the component's <code>addComponentListener</code>
* method. When the component's size, location, or visibility
* changes, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked,
* and the <code>ComponentEvent</code> is passed to it.
* <P>
* Component events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
* The AWT will automatically handle component moves and resizes
* internally so that GUI layout works properly regardless of
* whether a program registers a <code>ComponentListener</code> or not.
