/** 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.
