public class StateChangeEvent
extends ChangeEvent

A generic "state change" event gets delivered whenever a model changes to such extent that it cannot be delineated all aspects of it that have changed. A StateChangeEvent is sent as an argument to the StateChangeListener. Provisional API: This class is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
