Silly question on anonymous class

Hi,

While using Adapter classes in Swing applications, we use the keyword "new" for an adapter class. And an adapter class is an abstract class.

We cannot create an instance of abstract class but how are we using new WindowAdapter()?

Please have a look at this code

publicstaticvoid main( String args[] )

{

MouseTracker app =new MouseTracker();

app.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()

{

publicvoid windowClosing( WindowEvent e )

{

System.exit( 0 );

}

} );

}

Can someone explain me please?
