Simple application (a la SimpleGUI from kschultz) demonstrating how to close a Frame by overriding the relevant methods in java.awt.event.WindowAdapter

What it does:

1. Constructs and shows a frame at half the screen resolution height and width.


2. Constructs a simple static label


3. Constructs a canvas, which responds to MouseEvents by changing the background color (white for out, green for in) and prints to console information regarding the MouseEvent


4. Registers an anonymous inner WindowAdapter to listen to the Frame for window events, disposing of the Frame (and printing to console) when the frame has been closed.

What it shows:

1. Use anonymous inner classing for speedy coding and convenient handling of events (MouseEvent, MouseAdapter).


2. Use of anonymous inner WindowAdapter (abstract class) to handle WindowEvents
