MethodAnnotationsScanner is not getting configured unless there is at least one class using the annotation

I am using reflections:0.9.12 and I want to scan for Constructors which have some annotation, let’s say @Autowired.

public class UserService {
	private UserRepository repository;

	public UserService() {
	}

	@Autowired
	public UserService(UserRepository repository) {
		this.repository = repository;
	}
}

Reflections reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder()
		.setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forPackage("com.sivalabs.myapp"))
		.setScanners(new MethodAnnotationsScanner()));

Set<Constructor> constructorsAnnotatedWith = reflections.getConstructorsAnnotatedWith(Autowired.class);

This code is working fine if there is at least one class using @Autowired annotation. But if there is no class using @Autowired annotation in the package com.sivalabs.myapp then following exception is being thrown:

Exception in thread "main" org.reflections.ReflectionsException: Scanner MethodAnnotationsScanner was not configured
	at org.reflections.Store.get(Store.java:39)
	at org.reflections.Store.get(Store.java:61)
	at org.reflections.Store.get(Store.java:46)
	at org.reflections.Reflections.getConstructorsAnnotatedWith(Reflections.java:515)

Expectation: MethodAnnotationsScanner should be registered even when there are no classes using any particular annotation and when reflections.getConstructorsAnnotatedWith() is called it should return empty result.

Bump. Is it possible to make a release with this fix?
