20.20 java.awt.event.MouseAdapter (JDK 1.1)

This class is a trivial implementation of MouseListener; it provides empty bodies for each of the methods of that interface. When you are not interested in all of these methods, it is often easier to subclass MouseAdapter than it is to implement MouseListener from scratch.

public abstract class MouseAdapter extends Object implements MouseListener {
    // Default Constructor: public MouseAdapter()
    // Public Instance Methods
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e);  // From MouseListener
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e);  // From MouseListener
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e);  // From MouseListener
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e);  // From MouseListener
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e);  // From MouseListener
}
