Service to manage event notification. The designed has been inspired by the paper by Gupta, S., J. M. Hartkopf, and S. Ramaswamy, in Java Report, Vol. 3, No. 7, July 1998, 19-36, "Event Notifier: A Pattern for Event Notification".
EventManager brokers events between a Publisher, which produces events, and a Subscriber, which handles the notification of events. A Filter discards events not of interest to a subscriber. All Events have a common ancestor type Event and the event types are identified by a Class.
