extends java.lang.Object

This SyncChannel class implements a shared memory communication channel in the same way as the class BoundedBuffer does. It has only a capacity to transport one object. With the method send objects are placed into the channel, and with the receive objects are taken from the channel. send blocks if there is no space to place a object into the channel and until a corresponding receive is executed. recieve blocks if there is no object in the channel. The objects are put to and get from the channel in FIFO order.
