Compare two events according to - time stamp - value did not find a way to compare Tokens, therefore am comparing DoubleTokens and IntTokens here. If other kinds of Tokens are used, this Comparer needs to be extended.

    Compare two events according to time stamps and values. FIXME Because there is no general compare method for tokens, I implemented the comparison for int and double tokens. A more general compare is required.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface java.util.Comparator
    
    Parameters:
    
    arg0 - First event.
    
    arg1 - Second event.
    
    Returns:
    
    -1 if event arg0 should be processed before event arg1, 0 if they should be processed at the same time, 1 if arg1 should be processed before arg0.
