Generating Events

• Events may be created and placed on the event queue for applications
• The event queue is found from Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue()
• The event queue is not accessible yet from applets (need appplet queue)
• Adding semantic events to queue dose nothing to native GUI objects, and only makes the application state inconsistent
• Adding input events has no effect as yet, but may in the future
• Adding new event types to the queue may be done
