Use existing method as JavaFX event handler

In virtually all examples I could find, JavaFX event handlers are created as anonymous inner classes, like so:

button.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
    @Override
    public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
        if (event.getClickCount()>1) {
            System.out.println("double clicked!");    
        }
    }
});

But, I really hate anonymous inner classes (UGLY!!!), and I also don't want to create separate classes for each and every event handler. I would like to use existing methods as event handlers, as FXMLLoader does. My first idea was to use reflection and generics, and this is what I came up with:

public final static <E extends Event> EventHandler<E> createEventHandler(
        final Class<E> eventClass, final Object handlerInstance, final String handlerMethod) {
    try {
        final Method method = handlerInstance.getClass().getMethod(handlerMethod, eventClass);
        return new EventHandler<E>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(E event) {
                try {
                    method.invoke(handlerInstance, event);
                } catch (IllegalAccessException | IllegalArgumentException
                        | InvocationTargetException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };
    } catch (NoSuchMethodException | SecurityException e) {
        return null;
    }
}

You pass a required Event class, handler instance and method name which will handle the event, and required EventHandler is returned. It works, but it doesn't look very elegant. Does anyone have a better idea?
