Annotation Type ListenerInterface

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface ListenerInterface

This is a tagging annotation for interfaces which are to be used as Listeners in jeve. The corresponding annotation processor performs some compile time checks for whether your listener adheres to the general style of listener definitions in jeve.

• A listener should be defined as an interface
• The listener interface must extend Listener
• Every method defined within the interface must adhere to the ListenerKind specified as value to this annotation

When omitting the value() attribute, the target class is expected to contain only normal listening methods.

As this is only a tagging annotation, it is perfectly fine to use listeners without specifying this annotation.
