/**
 * A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occured.
 * This high-level event is generated by a component (such as a Button) when
 * the component-specific action occurs (such as being pressed).
 * The event is passed to every every <code>ActionListener</code> object
 * that registered to receive such events using the component's
 * <code>addActionListener</code> method.
 * <P>
 * The object that implements the <code>ActionListener</code> interface
 * gets this <code>ActionEvent</code> when the event occurs. The listener
 * is therefore spared the details of processing individual mouse movements
 * and mouse clicks, and can instead process a "meaningful" (semantic)
 * event like "button pressed".
