/*
 * This class serves as a basis for the threads that the other projects use to listen to incoming messages over a network. The most important
 * method, run, initializes a connection based on the constructor arguments and calls different methods depending on the result, which could
 * range from a successful connection, to an unsuccessful one, to one that gets interrupted later on. Any class inheriting this one simply
 * has to extend the methods called in run and the processMessage method to customize the behavior in different situations.
