JADE in Eclipse ICP exception

I want to start writing JADE in Eclipse. To do so I added the following script provided by Java Agent Development Framework - Eclipse and Maven integration.

I made an agent:

public class Test extends Agent {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    String nickname = "Peter";
    AID id = new AID(nickname, AID.ISLOCALNAME);


    protected void setup() {
        // Printout a welcome message
        System.out.println("Hello! Buyer-agent " +getAID().getName()+ " is ready.");
    }
}

And when I run my JadeBootThread.run() with the following parameters:

private final String ACTOR_NAMES_args = "buyer:test.Test";

private final String GUI_args = "-gui";

I get the following error:

I tried messing around with the private final String GUI_args = "-gui"; parameters and added "-local-port 1111" but this gave the exact same error (the port in the error also stayed 1099)

Solution

  • Add the following while running your code as arguments in eclipse 

    -gui -host 192.168.2.9 -port 12344 
agentttt:com.DAO.test_agents.PingAgent

    Then name main class as 

    jade.Boot

    Then just run your code with all the external jar files added ,i guess this won't give any ICP error.
