/**
 * A low-level event which indicates that a component moved, changed
 * size, or changed visibility (also, the root class for the other 
 * component-level events).
 * <P>
 * Component events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
 * The AWT will automatically handle component moves and resizes
 * internally so that GUI layout works properly regardless of
 * whether a program is receiving these events or not.
 * <P>
 * In addition to serving as the base class for other component-related
 * events (InputEvent, FocusEvent, WindowEvent, ContainerEvent),
 * this class defines the events that indicate changes in
 * a component's size, position, or visibility. 
 * <P>
 * This low-level event is generated by a component object (such as a 
 * List) when the component is moved, resized, rendered invisible, or made
 * visible again. The event is passed to every <code>ComponentListener</code>
 * or <code>ComponentAdapter</code> object which registered to receive such
 * events using the component's <code>addComponentListener</code> method.
 * (<code>ComponentAdapter</code> objects implement the 
 * <code>ComponentListener</code> interface.) Each such listener object 
 * gets this <code>ComponentEvent</code> when the event occurs.
