Adds an event listener to the specified source. This looks for an "add" method corresponding to the event type (addActionListener, for example).

  • listener – the listener
Type parameters:
  • <L> – the event listener type
Throws:

Binds an event listener to a specific method on a specific object.
Params:
  • target – the target object
  • methodName – the name of the method to be called
  • eventSource – the object which is generating events (JButton, JList, etc.)
  • listenerType – the listener interface (ActionListener.class, SelectionListener.class, etc.)
  • eventTypes – the event types (method names) from the listener interface (if none specified, all will be supported)
Type parameters:
  • <L> – the event listener type

  • method – the method to be invoked
  • parameters – the parameters for the method invocation
Throws:
Returns:the result of the method call
