To create a custom event or to use PropertyChangeEvent

[-]

I have a close and open method in a class containing fireCloseEvent()
and fireOpenEvent() respectively to fire a custom event.

What if in order not to create a custom event, I do it such that I
create a 'state' class variable and change the state when it is closed
or opened and then firePropertyChangeEvent?

Is the former or latter the proper way?

If you have no parameters transmitted in your custom open /close
events, the PropertyChangeEvent is quite good.
