The API doc for AWTEventListenerProxy.eventDispatched() is erroneous as it says this method forwards the property change event to the listeners. This method actually forwards all the AWT events (for which mask has been specified) to the registered listeners. Even under 'Parameters' section, it describes 'evt' as PropertyChangeEvent when it is not, in reality. This must be fixed.

This is noticed right from JDK1.4.
