Jadex includes various tools for runtime and debugging activities as well as for development and documentation purposes. There are also some legacy tools developed with Jadex for the JADE platform.
Jadex Runtime Tools.
Jadex Control Center. The Control Center is the central access point for all runtime tools. It offers functionalities provided by plug-ins in separate perspectives.
Agent Starter. The Starter plug-in offers a user-interface to administer the agents on the platform. It can be used to load, start and kill selected agents.
Jadex Introspector. The Introspector plug-in can be used to observe internal state of agents including their beliefs, goals and plans. It also includes a debugger that allows to execute agents stepwise.
Tracer Agent. The Tracer plug-in may be used to visualize the internal processes of an agent at runtime and show causal dependencies among agent's beliefs, goal, and plans.
Conversation Center. The Conversation Center can be used to compose messages in a user interface and send them to agents directly.
Jadex Development Tools.
Beanynizer. The Protégé™ plugin is handy with creating whole ontologies and converting them to Java™ bean classes.
Jadexdoc. The documentation tool helps to create JavaDoc-like documentation for Jadex agents.
JADE-Specific Runtime Tools.
Jadex RMA The Remote Monitoring Agent can be used on the Jade platform to start and manage Jadex agents and other Jade-specific tools. From the Jadex RMA it is possible to start the Jadex Control Center per button-click if one wants to use the default Jadex runtime tools.
Logger Agent. The Logger collects,
processes and visualizes all data send by agents using the
java.util.logging API. It has been debeloped using JADE
platform facilities and is therefore currently unavailble for the
Standalone (and other) platforms.
