Interface EventFilter

public interface EventFilter

An event filter that decides whether an instant message event should be filtered or not. For instance, maybe some type of received messages should not be shown in the chat windows. In such cases implementations of this filter would block this message before it is delivered to other IM listeners.

Note that in order to be able to use this Filter, protocols should implement OperationSetMessageFiltering.
