Class SimpleExchanger

java.lang.Object
  ec.Exchanger
      ec.simple.SimpleExchanger

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Setup, Singleton, SteadyStateExchangerForm

public final class SimpleExchanger

extends Exchanger

implements SteadyStateExchangerForm

A SimpleExchanger is a default Exchanger which, well, doesn't do anything. Most applications don't need Exchanger facilities; this simple version will suffice.

The SimpleExchanger implements the SteadyStateExchangerForm, mostly because it does nothing with individuals. For this reason, it is final; implement your own Exchanger if you need to do something more advanced.
