So there is no way out without java coding. Moreover, each jclass that 
has 'events' will need a wrapper class.

However, it seems there might be a better solution which uses a fixed 
java snippet for all classes (using a dynamic proxy). As I am not very 
involved with java, pls have a look at:

especially the post before the last. Maybe you can shed more light on this?
