/**
 * This annotation lets you define listeners directly on a test class
 * instead of doing so in your testng.xml.  Any class that implements
 * the interface {@link org.testng.ITestNGListener} is allowed,
 * except {@link IAnnotationTransformer} and {@link IAnnotationTransformer2},
 * which need to be defined in XML since they have to be known before we even
 * start looking for annotations.
 *
 * Note that listeners specified this way are global to your entire suite, just
 * like listeners specified in testng.xml.
