Difference between JMS Listener and JMS On New Message

This question is related to my earlier question.

I am using Mule 4.4 community edition, and I was looking through the various components available for JMS in Mule. I'm confused about JMS On new Message and JMS Listener. All of the documentation for listener seems to be talking about On New Message however the code snippets in this link shows a listener:

<jms:listener config-ref="config" destination="#[vars.destination]"/>

So it looks like they are both one and the same. If so, then I am confused as to why they show up separately in Mule palette as individual components.

When I dragged and dropped both of these components into their respective flows the underlying XML code still is about the listener.

They are the same. The display name of jms:listener is "On New Message." That's all there is to this. It is to maintain a consistency across different modules. If you check other modules like database, emails, SFTP, or any other module the XML DSL always has "listener" as its DSL element. The display name is different as they should be more descriptive then just saying "listener." For example, if you just say listener in SFTP one might think that it is also listening to deletion of files too, but it only listens to new or updated files and therefore it is more appropriate to name it "On New or Updated File."
