As described in http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1071?focusedCommentId=16975&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16975 I did the same for another library, where few parts of PropertyChangeListener of java beans has been implemented by my own just for the needed parts.
See https://github.com/openhab/jupnp/commit/e6f47daacc17116f3d5e66e23aa252773c8e175d to get an idea how I did it.
