  29  * An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse events.
  30  * The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as
  31  * convenience for creating listener objects.
  32  * <P>
  33  * Mouse events let you track when a mouse is pressed, released, clicked,
  34  * moved, dragged, when it enters a component, when it exits and
  35  * when a mouse wheel is moved.
  36  * <P>
  37  * Extend this class to create a {@code MouseEvent}
  38  * (including drag and motion events) or/and {@code MouseWheelEvent}
  39  * listener and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the
  40  * {@code MouseListener},
  41  * {@code MouseMotionListener}
  42  * interface, you have to define all of
  43  * the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them
  44  * all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)
  45  * <P>
  46  * Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with
  47  * a component using the component's {@code addMouseListener}
  48  * {@code addMouseMotionListener}, {@code addMouseWheelListener}
  49  * methods.
  50  * The relevant method in the listener object is invoked  and the {@code MouseEvent}
  51  * or {@code MouseWheelEvent}  is passed to it in following cases:
  52  * <p><ul>
  53  * <li>when a mouse button is pressed, released, or clicked (pressed and  released)
  54  * <li>when the mouse cursor enters or exits the component
  55  * <li>when the mouse wheel rotated, or mouse moved or dragged
  56  * </ul>
