  29  * An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse motion events.
  30  * The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as
  31  * convenience for creating listener objects.
  32  * <P>
  33  * Mouse motion events occur when a mouse is moved or dragged.
  34  * (Many such events will be generated in a normal program.
  35  * To track clicks and other mouse events, use the MouseAdapter.)
  36  * <P>
  37  * Extend this class to create a {@code MouseEvent} listener
  38  * and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the
  39  * {@code MouseMotionListener} interface, you have to define all of
  40  * the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them
  41  * all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)
  42  * <P>
  43  * Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with
  44  * a component using the component's {@code addMouseMotionListener}
  45  * method. When the mouse is moved or dragged, the relevant method in the
  46  * listener object is invoked and the {@code MouseEvent} is passed to it.
