## java.awt.event
Class ContainerAdapter

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.event.ContainerAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ContainerListener, EventListener

    public abstract class ContainerAdapter

extends Object
implements ContainerListener

An abstract adapter class for receiving container events. The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as convenience for creating listener objects.

Extend this class to create a `ContainerEvent` listener and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the `ContainerListener` interface, you have to define all of the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)

Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with a component using the component's `addContainerListener` method. When the container's contents change because a component has been added or removed, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and the `ContainerEvent` is passed to it.

  1.1
