Listening to Project creation event using annotation

[Sadaf]

Hi All,

I have written a Workflow validator which is working fine, Now I need to attach the validator to the workflow of newly created project by listening to the Project created event. I followed "Jira Event Listener" Link which is outdated so, Not working.
I tried with the annotation as well but that is also not working (not giving error and also not executing the code on project creation). So Plz help me.
Code
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.annotation.imports.ComponentImport;
import com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.annotation.export.ExportAsService;
import javax.inject.Inject;
@ExportAsService
@Component
public class ProjectCreatedListener implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ProjectCreatedListener.class);
@ComponentImport
private final EventPublisher eventPublisher;
@Inject
public ProjectCreatedListener(EventPublisher eventPublisher) {
this.eventPublisher = eventPublisher;
log.info("started listening");
}
@Override
public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
eventPublisher.register(this);
}

@Override
public void destroy() throws Exception {
eventPublisher.unregister(this);
}

@EventListener
public void listenForIssueEvent(ProjectCreatedEvent projectCreateEvent) {
log.info("Project Created");
System.out.println("Project Created");
Project createdProject = projectCreateEvent.getProject();
attachValidator(createdProject); // todo
}
}

Will be grateful for any suggestion/help. 

Thanks in advance.
