Generating Events of a new Class

• New event classes can be subclassed from AWTEvent
• Possible values for id field must be greater than AWTEvent.RESERVED_MAX_ID or event handling breaks
• A subclass of Component must be defined to handle the new event type
• The subclass will ignore events by default: make it receive the new event by enableEvents(0)
