Greenrobot's EventBus on a normal Java application

I've been developing Android apps and I've been using Greenrobot EventBus, you can find it here, and I really like it. Clean, versatile and easy to use.

Now I'm creating a Java Application and if I use an event bus it will help me a bit. So I thought about using Greenrobot EventBus but then it is made for Android and I'm not sure if there's any problem behind it while using it with a normal Java Application, after all they are both in Java.

I'm aware of other Event Bus libraries, like Guava and Akka, but since I'm already confortable with Greenrobot EventBus and it is very flexible with multi threading (which will help me as well) I'm thinking on using Greenrobot and save some time.

I've tried to use this library (version 2.4.0, last stable version) in a plain Java Project. It seems that it is not possible to use it due to the Android dependencies.

import de.greenrobot.event.EventBus;

public class MainTest {
    EventBus eventBus = EventBus.getDefault();

    eventBus.post("This is a test event object");
}

A ClassNotFoundException is triggered:

P.S.: I didn't try version 3.0.0-beta1.
