Create Java EE 6 annotated class

If the checkbox is not selected, a <listener-class> element for the listener class is added to web.xml.

If the checkbox is selected, the new listener class will be @WebListener-annotated and no changes will be made to web.xml.

If there is no web.xml in your project, the checkbox is selected by default, and you cannot deselect it.
