body: <p>I found this link covering how to create a custom java event..
  <a href="http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/custevent.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/custevent.html</a></p>
  
  <p>The thing I dont get is.. what does the fireEvent method do?..and when is it called?.. is it called "automatically" as long as it extends from the EventObject class or how does it work?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
