A class representing an event type.
The events produced by Commons Configuration all have a specific type. The event type can be used to determine the meaning of a specific event. It also acts as filter criterion when event listeners are registered. The listener is then called only for events of this type or derived types. The events in this library form a natural hierarchy with base types and more specialized types. By specifying an appropriate event type at listener registration time, it can be determined on a fine-granular basis which events are propagated to the listener.
Note: Users familiar with JavaFX probably recognize this approach to event handling. It allows for generic event listener interfaces and a natural selection of events to be processed.
