      Object processMessageGroup(MessageGroup group)
      Process the given MessageGroup. Implementations are free to return as few or as many messages based on the invocation as needed.

      If a multiple messages are returned the return value must be a Collection<Message>.

      Parameters:
      group - The message group.
      Returns:
