I have setup the JAVA_HOME in

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk/Contents/Home

I have JADE in $JAVA_HOME/lib and  /Library/Java/Extensions

On Eclipse I have given following arguments for another project by starting the main container on a separate terminal

-container -agents Test1:simple0.HelloAgent

I have spent hrs researching and trying to figure out what's going on but no luck with that. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers


Solution

  • So after spending hrs and hrs I figured out what went wrong here. On MAC OS (Yosmite) Eclipse I had to add the project to the classpath. Then everything started to work.enter image description here
