I know that, we can directly use EventQueue.postEvent () in fact. But how do I go about adding listeners to the sources? They will be my own classes (sources as well as listeners).

Hi folks,<br />
<br />
Can I make my own event class (that extends AWTEvent) and post it to the event-queue? Will the event-queue take care of calling listeners for it? How to add listeners for this kind of an event?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Mayank.<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
