Example Agilla agents can be found in $TOSROOT/contrib/wustl/apps/AgillaAgents. Read the README file within this directory for a description of each agent.

Configuring the AgentInjector

The AgentInjector searches for an agilla.properties file in the directory from which you launched it. This file may contain the following properties: 

initDir=../../apps/AgillaAgents
defaultAgent=3Blink.ma
runTest=false
  • initDir specifies the directory that the open dialog should be at when it is opened for the first time.
  • defaultAgent specifies the agent that should be opened when the AgentInjector starts. This agent must be located in the initDir.
  • runTest specifies whether an experiment should be run. This is only used for debugging and evaluation purposes and should remain off in normal use.
