Allow Subscription without Annotations

[dcowden]

We have a project where we would love to use MBassador. In our use case, though, we'd prefer to avoid the use of annotations to mark hander methods, preferring instead the more 'old-fashioned way' where we have listeners that implement a particular interface.

More specifically, we have a class like this

public interface OurSpecialListener{
public void onEvent(Event e );
}

and then classes implement this interface in order to listen.

Is there a way to use MBassador in this situation? For a greenfield project, we agree that the annotations way is cleaner, and we're completely sold that the inner workings of MBassador is awesome, so we'd like to get the performance benefits, but stay compatible with our current listener structures

Surfing through other issues, it appears that #67 might solve this need:

If so, let me know and I will close thise one.

It's true. #67 would provide you with a convenient solution. Unfortunately, I currently lack the time to implement this enhancement. Maybe there is someone who wants to pick up that issue? Most of the work would have to be done within the MetadataReader. It shouldn't be too hard to do but a bit of pain since the Java reflection API really is far from convenient.

Ok Closing this one, #67 captures the need.
