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