Doubt on interface instantiation in ActionListener class

[satya sahu]

jButton2.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){

}
});
ActionListener is an interface. Interfaces can't be instantiated. Then how in the above anonymous implementation new of the interface is done?
