Agent Communication

Running

The project uses Java 8 update 25!

Eclipse project

The Eclipse project contains a launch configuration that creates all agents with the exception of the customer simulating agent, which can be added manually in order to debug or run the warehouse without a real customer agent.

There are two shell scripts:

1. for compiling all source files (PATH environment variable has to be set to java 8 bin directory)
2. for running jade with our agents (does not work in git shell emulation but works on linux systems JAVA_HOME variable has to be set to a Java 8 version)

JSON parsing

1. Provide working kiva.config.json
2. Run parse.js
3. Run command generated by parse.js

Standard: ./parse.js | bash
