* IM message listener. This listener receives {@link IIMMessageEvent}s.

* Note these methods will be called asynchronously when notifications of remote
* changes are received by the provider implementation code. The provider is
* free to call the methods below with an arbitrary thread, so the
* implementation of these methods must be appropriately prepared.
* <p>
* </p>
* For example, if the code implementing any of these methods must interact with
* user interface code, then it should use code such as the following to execute
* on the SWT UI thread:
*
* <pre>
* Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
* public void run() {
* ... UI code here
* }
* });
* </pre>
*
* Further, the code in the implementations of these methods should <b>not block</b> via
* I/O operations or blocking UI calls.
