/**
* 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>
