Question : Calling Events and Event Handlers in Java

I'm looking for a simple example of event handlers and calling events in Java. This is for usage in a multi-threaded environment. We are NOT using any GUI packages. The events would be application specific and created specifically for this application.

After some research I haven't been able to locate any examples which show how to do the following (without being specific to AWT/GWT):

1. Create an event.
2. Call the event.
3. Handle the event.

Actually custom events derive from java.util.EventObject
