## 20.8 java.awt.event.ContainerAdapter (JDK 1.1)

###

This class is a trivial implementation of `ContainerListener`; it provides empty bodies for each of the methods of that interface. When you are not interested in all of these methods, it is often easier to subclass `ContainerAdapter` than it is to implement `ContainerListener` from scratch.

    public abstract class ContainerAdapter extends Object implements ContainerListener {
        // Default Constructor: public ContainerAdapter()
        // Public Instance Methods
                public void componentAdded(ContainerEvent e);  // From ContainerListener
                public void componentRemoved(ContainerEvent e);  // From ContainerListener
    }
