package

javax.swing.event

Provides for events fired by Swing components. It contains event classes and corresponding event listener interfaces for events fired by Swing components in addition to those events in the java.awt.event package.

Note: Most of the Swing API is not thread safe. For details, see Threads and Swing, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Classes

AncestorEvent An event reported to a child component that originated from an ancestor in the component hierarchy.
