Class UseTheClassOfTheAnnotatedMethodsParameter

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.bushe.swing.event.annotation.UseTheClassOfTheAnnotatedMethodsParameter

public final class UseTheClassOfTheAnnotatedMethodsParameter
extends Object

This is a dummy class to get around a limitation with annotations.

It's nice to use an @EventSubscriber annotation without any parameters. For example:

 @EventSubscriber public void onEvent(FooEvent event) { //do something } 
In this case, the method should obviously be subscribed to the FooEvent class. Since the eventClass is not required, annotations require a default to be supplied. A default of null is not allowed by the compiler since it is not a class literal. A default of Object.class cannot be used, since it is legal to subscribe to Object. hence, this class was created which documents the issue and provides decent feedback when using an IDE's parameter insight.
