/**
* The listener interface for receiving "interesting" mouse events
* (press, release, click, enter, and exit) on a component.
* (To track mouse moves and mouse drags, use the
! * <code>MouseMotionListener</code>.)
* <P>
* The class that is interested in processing a mouse event
* either implements this interface (and all the methods it
! * contains) or extends the abstract <code>MouseAdapter</code> class
* (overriding only the methods of interest).
* <P>
* The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
! * component using the component's <code>addMouseListener</code>
* method. A mouse event is generated when the mouse is pressed, released
* clicked (pressed and released). A mouse event is also generated when
* the mouse cursor enters or leaves a component. When a mouse event
* occurs, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and
! * the <code>MouseEvent</code> is passed to it.
