      public interface ActionListener
      extends EventListener

  The listener interface for receiving action events. The class that is interested in processing an action event implements this interface, and the object created with that class is registered with a component, using the component's `addActionListener` method. When the action event occurs, that object's `actionPerformed` method is invoked.
