Abstract Interface ClipboardOwner in Java
ClipboardOwner interface defines the single method that an object that places data on a Clipboard must implement. This method is used to notify the object when its data on the clipboard is replaced by other, more recent, data. An object that places data on a clipboard must remain ready to satisfy requests for that data until lostOwnership() is called.
In short, ClipboardOwner is implemented by classes that want to be notified when someone else sets the contents of a clipboard.
The interface structure of ClipboardOwner in Java is given as
public abstract interface ClipboardOwner {
// Public Instance Methods
