/**
* A semantic event which indicates that an object's text changed.
* This high-level event is generated by an object (such as a TextComponent)
* when its text changes. The event is passed to
* every TextListener
object which registered to receive such
* events using the component's addTextListener
method.
*
* The object that implements the TextListener
interface gets
* this TextEvent
when the event occurs. The listener is
* spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and key strokes
* Instead, it can process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "text changed".
*
* An unspecified behavior will be caused if the {@code id} parameter
* of any particular {@code TextEvent} instance is not
* in the range from {@code TEXT_FIRST} to {@code TEXT_LAST}.
