/**

 * An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse events.

 * The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as

 * convenience for creating listener objects.

 * <P>

 * Mouse events let you track when a mouse is pressed, released, clicked,

 * moved, dragged, when it enters a component, when it exits and

 * when a mouse wheel is moved.

 * <P>

 * Extend this class to create a {@code MouseEvent}

 * (including drag and motion events) or/and {@code MouseWheelEvent}

 * listener and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the

 * {@code MouseListener},

 * {@code MouseMotionListener}

 * interface, you have to define all of

 * the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them

 * all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)

 * <P>

 * Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with

 * a component using the component's {@code addMouseListener}

 * {@code addMouseMotionListener}, {@code addMouseWheelListener}

 * methods.

 * The relevant method in the listener object is invoked  and the {@code MouseEvent}

 * or {@code MouseWheelEvent}  is passed to it in following cases:

 * <p><ul>

 * <li>when a mouse button is pressed, released, or clicked (pressed and  released)

 * <li>when the mouse cursor enters or exits the component

 * <li>when the mouse wheel rotated, or mouse moved or dragged

 * </ul>
