Detailed Description

The base class for objects that can be sent to a MessageListener.

If you want to send a message that carries some kind of custom data, just create a subclass of Message with some appropriate member variables to hold your data.

Always create a new instance of a Message object on the heap, as it will be deleted automatically after the message has been delivered.
