Inheritance diagram for code::ActionEvent:
This high-level event is generated by an ActionSource (such as a Button) when the object-specific action occurs (such as being pressed). The event is passed to every every ActionListener object that registered to receive such events using the ActionSource's addActionListener method.
The object that implements the ActionListener interface gets this ActionEvent when the event occurs. The listener is therefore spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and mouse clicks, and can instead process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "button pressed".
Like Dialog/DialogListener and ListModel/ListListener, this is another instance of the "Observer/Observable" pattern, discussed in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides, 1995).
