public void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
```
    Add a property change listener to this document. Changes to certain elements of the state will cause all registered property listeners to be notified.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addPropertyChangeListener in interface Document
  - getEditSupport
```
public javax.swing.undo.UndoableEditSupport getEditSupport()
```
    Return the undoable edit support. You need this to post edits.

  - close
```
public void close()
           throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Close the document. Do not attempt to save the document first or do any other user-interface things like that. This method must never "fail." Note that actions such as querying the user to save a modified document and so on are the responsibility of the application, not the Document implementation. Return true if the operation was successful, otherwise false. In this base class do nothing.
    
    Specified by:
