Interface Summary
AncestorListener: AncestorListener Interface to support notification when changes occur to a JComponent or one of its ancestors.
CaretListener: Listener for changes in the caret position of a text component.
CellEditorListener: CellEditorListener defines the interface for an object that listens to changes in a CellEditor
ChangeListener: Defines an object which listens for ChangeEvents.
DocumentEvent: Interface for document change notifications.
DocumentEvent.ElementChange: Describes changes made to a specific element.
DocumentListener: Interface for an observer to register to receive notifications of changes to a text document.
HyperlinkListener: HyperlinkListener
InternalFrameListener: The listener interface for receiving internal frame events.
ListDataListener: ListDataListener
ListSelectionListener: The listener that's notified when a lists selection value changes.
MenuDragMouseListener: Defines a menu mouse-drag listener.
MenuKeyListener: MenuKeyListener
MenuListener: Defines a listener for menu events.
MouseInputListener: A listener implementing all the methods in both the `MouseListener` and `MouseMotionListener` interfaces.
PopupMenuListener: A popup menu listener
RowSorterListener: `RowSorterListener`s are notified of changes to a `RowSorter`.
TableColumnModelListener: TableColumnModelListener defines the interface for an object that listens to changes in a TableColumnModel.
TableModelListener: TableModelListener defines the interface for an object that listens to changes in a TableModel.
TreeExpansionListener: The listener that's notified when a tree expands or collapses a node.
TreeModelListener: Defines the interface for an object that listens to changes in a TreeModel.
TreeSelectionListener: The listener that's notified when the selection in a TreeSelectionModel changes.
TreeWillExpandListener: The listener that's notified when a tree expands or collapses a node.
UndoableEditListener: Interface implemented by a class interested in hearing about undoable operations.

Class Summary
AncestorEvent: An event reported to a child component that originated from an ancestor in the component hierarchy.
CaretEvent: CaretEvent is used to notify interested parties that the text caret has changed in the event source.
ChangeEvent: ChangeEvent is used to notify interested parties that state has changed in the event source.
DocumentEvent.EventType: Enumeration for document event types
EventListenerList: A class that holds a list of EventListeners.
HyperlinkEvent: HyperlinkEvent is used to notify interested parties that something has happened with respect to a hypertext link.
HyperlinkEvent.EventType: Defines the ENTERED, EXITED, and ACTIVATED event types, along with their string representations, returned by toString().
InternalFrameAdapter: An abstract adapter class for receiving internal frame events.
InternalFrameEvent: An `AWTEvent` that adds support for `JInternalFrame` objects as the event source.
ListDataEvent: Defines an event that encapsulates changes to a list.
ListSelectionEvent: An event that characterizes a change in selection.
MenuDragMouseEvent: MenuDragMouseEvent is used to notify interested parties that the menu element has received a MouseEvent forwarded to it under drag conditions.
MenuEvent: MenuEvent is used to notify interested parties that the menu which is the event source has been posted, selected, or canceled.
MenuKeyEvent: MenuKeyEvent is used to notify interested parties that the menu element has received a KeyEvent forwarded to it in a menu tree.
MouseInputAdapter: An empty implementation of the `MouseInputListener` interface, provided as a convenience to simplify the task of creating listeners, by extending and implementing only the methods of interest.
PopupMenuEvent: PopupMenuEvent only contains the source of the event which is the JPopupMenu sending the event
RowSorterEvent: `RowSorterEvent` provides notification of changes to a `RowSorter`.
SwingPropertyChangeSupport: This subclass of `java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport` is almost identical in functionality.
TableColumnModelEvent: TableColumnModelEvent is used to notify listeners that a table column model has changed, such as a column was added, removed, or moved.
TableModelEvent: TableModelEvent is used to notify listeners that a table model has changed.
TreeExpansionEvent: An event used to identify a single path in a tree.
TreeModelEvent: Encapsulates information describing changes to a tree model, and used to notify tree model listeners of the change.
TreeSelectionEvent: An event that characterizes a change in the current selection.
UndoableEditEvent: An event indicating that an operation which can be undone has occurred.

Enum Summary
RowSorterEvent.Type: Enumeration of the types of `RowSorterEvent`s.

## Package javax.swing.event Description

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.
