  40  * <P>
  41  * The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
  42  * component using the component's <code>addMouseListener</code>
  43  * method. A mouse event is generated when the mouse is pressed, released
  44  * clicked (pressed and released). A mouse event is also generated when
  45  * the mouse cursor enters or leaves a component. When a mouse event
  46  * occurs, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and
  47  * the <code>MouseEvent</code> is passed to it.
