/**
 * A low-level event which indicates that a container's contents
 * changed because a component was added or removed.
 * <P>
 * Container events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
 * The AWT will automatically handle changes to the containers
 * contents internally so that the program works properly regardless of
 * whether the program is receiving these events or not.
 * <P>
 * This low-level event is generated by a container object (such as a 
 * Panel) when a component is added to it or removed from it. 
 * The event is passed to every <code>ContainerListener</code>
 * or <code>ContainerAdapter</code> object which registered to receive such
 * events using the component's <code>addContainerListener</code> method.
 * (<code>ContainerAdapter</code> objects implement the 
 * <code>ContainerListener</code> interface.) Each such listener object 
 * gets this <code>ContainerEvent</code> when the event occurs.
