48 * This event is generated for a mouse event. There are three main categories
49 * of mouse events: Regular events include pressing, releasing, and clicking
50 * buttons, as well as moving over the boundary of the unobscured portion of
51 * a component. Motion events include movement and dragging. Wheel events are
52 * covered separately by the subclass MouseWheelEvent.
53 *
54 * <p>A mouse event is tied to the unobstructed visible component that the
55 * mouse cursor was over at the time of the action. The button that was
56 * most recently pressed is the only one that shows up in
57 * <code>getModifiers</code>, and is returned by <code>getButton</code>,
58 * while all buttons that are down show up in <code>getModifiersEx</code>.
59 *
60 * <p>Drag events may be cut short if native drag-and-drop operations steal
61 * the event. Likewise, if a mouse drag exceeds the bounds of a window or
62 * virtual device, some platforms may clip the path to fit in the bounds of
63 * the component.
