EventBus是Guava的事件处理机制，是设计模式中的观察者模式（生产/消费者编程模型）的优雅实现。对于事件监听和发布订阅模式，EventBus是一个非常优雅和简单解决方案，我们不用创建复杂的类和接口层次结构。

Guide

For Listeners

To listen for a specific flavor of event (say, a CustomerChangeEvent)...

• ...in traditional Java events: implement an interface defined with the event -- such as CustomerChangeEventListener.
• ...with EventBus: create a method that accepts CustomerChangeEvent as its sole argument, and mark it with the @Subscribe annotation.

To register your listener methods with the event producers...

• ...in traditional Java events: pass your object to each producer'sregisterCustomerChangeEventListener method. These methods are rarely defined in common interfaces, so in addition to knowing every possible producer, you must also know its type.
• ...with EventBus: pass your object to the EventBus.register(Object) method on an EventBus. You'll need to make sure that your object shares an EventBus instance with the event producers.

To listen for a common event supertype (such as EventObject or Object)...

• ...in traditional Java events: not easy.
• ...with EventBus: events are automatically dispatched to listeners of any supertype, allowing listeners for interface types or "wildcard listeners" for Object.

To listen for and detect events that were dispatched without listeners...

• ...in traditional Java events: add code to each event-dispatching method (perhaps using AOP).
• ...with EventBus: subscribe to DeadEvent. The EventBus will notify you of any events that were posted but not delivered. (Handy for debugging.)

For Producers

To keep track of listeners to your events...

• ...in traditional Java events: write code to manage a list of listeners to your object, including synchronization, or use a utility class like EventListenerList.
• ...with EventBus: EventBus does this for you.

To dispatch an event to listeners...

• ...in traditional Java events: write a method to dispatch events to each event listener, including error isolation and (if desired) asynchronicity.
• ...with EventBus: pass the event object to an EventBus's EventBus.post(Object)method.

Glossary

The EventBus system and code use the following terms to discuss event distribution:
