/** This class is created to solve interprocess communication problems.
 *  When you need to write a regression test which should verify inter jvm
 *  behavior such as DnD data transfer, Clipboard data transfer, focus
 *  transfer etc., you could use the next scenario:
 *
 *  1. Write an implementation for the parent JVM, using applet test.
 *  2. Write an implimentation for the child JVM or native application, using
 *     main() function.
 *  3. Execute child process using  ProcessCommunicator.executeChildProcess()
 *     method.
 *  4. You can decide whetherthe test is passed on the basis of
 *     ProcessResults class data.
 *
 *  Note: The class is not thread safe. You should access its methods only from the same
 *        thread.
