Interface EventProcessor

public interface netscape.application.EventProcessor
{
    /* Methods
     */
    public abstract void processEvent(Event);
}

Interface for objects interested in processing Events as they're removed from an EventLoop. Each Event has a processor, the object which understands the action that should be taken based on the Event and its data. For example, each MouseEvent specifies a RootView as its processor. As the EventLoop removes each MouseEvent, it calls the RootView's processEvent() method which forwards the MouseEvent to the appropriate View.
