Listener for property changes.

 Preferences.IPropertyChangeListener listener =
   new Preferences.IPropertyChangeListener() {
      public void propertyChange(Preferences.PropertyChangeEvent event) {
         ... // code to deal with occurrence of property change
      }
   };
 emitter.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);

Note: Depending on the means in which the property values changed, the old and new values for the property can be either typed, a string representation of the value, or null. Clients who wish to behave properly in all cases should all three cases in their implementation of the property change listener.
