I agree though that exposing an event driven api seems to be better than using jms directly in some cases. Hi Eric,

I agree though that exposing an event driven api seems to be better than using jms directly in some cases.

Coffee should be kicking in at any time... Speaking of Guice, don't you have to reference Guice API's to bootstrap the dependency injection? In general how should "third party" libraries handle Guice? As an app developer how should I handle libraries that use Guice? Do I care? I meant to type Matchers actually.

MatcherMaker is just too good, though. It even has its own theme song. I can't see myself changing that... :-) @Dan I think to be consistent with Executors you’d probably want something like Matchers, rather than Makers. MatcherMaker is just too good, though.

While I compile ClassBus with Guice annotations, Guice JARs are entirely optional for applications using ClassBus.

It seems to me that when the feature came out in Java 5, there were some "pitchfork" people upset about it. Hopefully one of them will show up and let us know all the downsides. BTW I like the Matcher interface versus the combinatorial explosion of methods in the API. And just to clarify, there's no runtime dependency on Guice, right? Just the coincidence of having the same class name as one that's in Guice. I agree that static imports can be a good thing.

I'll provide more details about this when I finish the online docs, but I did take a lot of inspiration from the EventBus project. In the end, I just felt like writing my own.

Regarding your ClassBus project: Do you know the EventBus project on java.net? How does your project compare to it? Thanks, Holger The Glazed Lists project also has the concept of matcher for filter criteria.
