An event object describing a change to a named property.
The preferences object reports property change events for internal state
changes that may be of interest to external parties. A special listener
interface (Preferences.IPropertyChangeListener
) is
defined for this purpose. Listeners are registered via the
Preferences.addPropertyChangeListener
method.
Clients cannot instantiate or subclass this class.
