/**
* Dispatches events to listeners, and provides ways for listeners to register
* themselves.
*
* The EventBus allows publish-subscribe-style communication between
* components without requiring the components to explicitly register with one
* another (and thus be aware of each other). It is designed exclusively to
* replace traditional Java in-process event distribution using explicit
* registration. It is not a general-purpose publish-subscribe system,
* nor is it intended for interprocess communication.
*
*
Receiving Events
* To receive events, an object should:
* - Expose a public method, known as the event handler, which accepts
* a single argument of the type of event desired;
* - Mark it with a {@link Subscribe} annotation;
* - Pass itself to an EventBus instance's {@link #register(Object)} method.
*
*
*
* Posting Events
* To post an event, simply provide the event object to the
* {@link #post(Object)} method. The EventBus instance will determine the type
* of event and route it to all registered listeners.
*
* Events are routed based on their type — an event will be delivered
* to any handler for any type to which the event is assignable. This
* includes implemented interfaces, all superclasses, and all interfaces
* implemented by superclasses.
*
*
When {@code post} is called, all registered handlers for an event are run
* in sequence, so handlers should be reasonably quick. If an event may trigger
* an extended process (such as a database load), spawn a thread or queue it for
* later. (For a convenient way to do this, use an {@link AsyncEventBus}.)
*
*
Handler Methods
* Event handler methods must accept only one argument: the event.
*
* Handlers should not, in general, throw. If they do, the EventBus will
* catch and log the exception. This is rarely the right solution for error
* handling and should not be relied upon; it is intended solely to help find
* problems during development.
*
*
The EventBus guarantees that it will not call a handler method from
* multiple threads simultaneously, unless the method explicitly allows it by
* bearing the {@link AllowConcurrentEvents} annotation. If this annotation is
* not present, handler methods need not worry about being reentrant, unless
* also called from outside the EventBus.
*
*
Dead Events
* If an event is posted, but no registered handlers can accept it, it is
* considered "dead." To give the system a second chance to handle dead events,
* they are wrapped in an instance of {@link DeadEvent} and reposted.
*
* If a handler for a supertype of all events (such as Object) is registered,
* no event will ever be considered dead, and no DeadEvents will be generated.
* Accordingly, while DeadEvent extends {@link Object}, a handler registered to
* receive any Object will never receive a DeadEvent.
*
*
This class is safe for concurrent use.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on
* {@code EventBus}.
