public class Main
extends Object

 NetworkingExamples project: examples.example2_one_client_OO.
 
 A simple example of networking (Sockets) in which:
   -- A single Server and Client exchange information, one after the other.
 
 This is the same example as examples.example1_one_client
 except structured in a more OO way.  In particular, this structure has 3 classes:
   -- Main: for starting the program.
   -- Server: for initiating and running the Server.
   -- Client: for initiating and running the Client.
 
 Run this program on one computer choosing "Server"
 and on another computer choosing "Client".
 
 Or, run both on the same computer; choose "localhost" as the Server HostName.
 
 NOTE:
   1. The Server should be started before the Client starts.
   2. Before running this program, you may need to tell your Firewall not to
      block the port that this program uses (4444, chosen arbitrarily).  In Windows, do so by:
         Control Panel ~ Windows Firewall ~ Exceptions tab ~ Add Port
      and enter the port number (4444) with any name you like.
      
 See examples.example1_one_client for:
   -- Exactly what information the Server and Client exchange in this demo.
   -- The 7 Key Statements that are all-you-need-to-know to do networking in Java.
   
 See examples.example3_one_client_OO_library for this same example
 but using the simple networking library in package simpleNetworking.
