/**
* Defines a way to filter packets for particular attributes. Stanza(/Packet) filters are used when
* constructing stanza(/packet) listeners or collectors -- the filter defines what packets match the criteria
* of the collector or listener for further stanza(/packet) processing.
* <p>
* Several simple filters are pre-defined. These filters can be logically combined for more complex
* stanza(/packet) filtering by using the {@link org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.AndFilter AndFilter} and
* {@link org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.OrFilter OrFilter} filters. It's also possible to define
* your own filters by implementing this interface. The code example below creates a trivial filter
* for packets with a specific ID (real code should use {@link StanzaIdFilter} instead).
*
* <pre>
* // Use an anonymous inner class to define a stanza(/packet) filter that returns
* // all packets that have a stanza(/packet) ID of &quot;RS145&quot;.
* PacketFilter myFilter = new PacketFilter() {
* public boolean accept(Packet packet) {
* return &quot;RS145&quot;.equals(packet.getStanzaId());
* }
* };
* // Create a new stanza(/packet) collector using the filter we created.
* PacketCollector myCollector = packetReader.createPacketCollector(myFilter);
* </pre>
*

* @see org.jivesoftware.smack.StanzaListener
* @author Matt Tucker
* @deprecated use {@link StanzaFilter}
