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