30/**
31 * The listener interface for receiving ancestor moved and resized events.
32 * The class that is interested in processing these events either implements
33 * this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstract
34 * <code>HierarchyBoundsAdapter</code> class (overriding only the method of
35 * interest).
36 * The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
37 * Component using the Component's <code>addHierarchyBoundsListener</code>
38 * method. When the hierarchy to which the Component belongs changes by
39 * the resizing or movement of an ancestor, the relevant method in the listener
40 * object is invoked, and the <code>HierarchyEvent</code> is passed to it.
41 * <p>
42 * Hierarchy events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
43 * The AWT will automatically handle changes to the hierarchy internally so
44 * that GUI layout works properly regardless of whether a
45 * program registers an <code>HierarchyBoundsListener</code> or not.
