/**
* This annotation can be applied to arguments and fields that want to receive notifications on the
* specified event topic.
* <p>
* Normally EventTopic annotations will be marked as optional. Those annotations establish a link
* rather then provide a value at the time of injection.
* </p>
* <p>
* Example usage:
* </p>
* <pre>
* public class Car {
* &#064;Inject
* void handle(&#064;Optional &#064;EventTopic("org/eclipse/e4/some/event/topic") Payload payload);
* ...
* }
* </pre>
* <p>
* The value stored under the event's "org.eclipse.e4.data" property is injected unless
* the class of the injected variable is org.osgi.service.event.Event. In that case the whole event
* object is injected.
* </p>
