public class VMCommunicateActivity
extends CommunicateActivity

The VMCommunicateActivity is a communicate activity with extensions for use in the virtual machine. A communicate activity is a primitive activity but allows for the communication of beliefs between the initiating agent or object and another agent or object. The user can specify when the actual transfer has to take place by setting the 'when' value to either start or end.
