JADE can be run under eclipse ‘Run’ as ‘Java Application’. Before you setup the execution environment for JADE, you should add JADE’s .jar files to your project:
- go to Project -> Properties
- move to Java Build Path
- in the “Libraries” tab, press “Add External JARs” button
- Select all the JADE’s jar files in “Orders and Export” tab
After you setup the classpath for JADE. You can create a “Run Configuration” for running JADE:
- go to Run -> Run Configurations
- move to Java Application
- in the “main” tab
- specify your project name, and
- main class is jade.Boot, and
- check the Include libraries when searching for a main class
In the Tab “argument”, program arguments is the arguments that would be used in command line, for example :
-gui jade.Boot [agent_nickname1:java_package1.agent_class1 agent_nickname2:java_package2.agent_class2 ...]
Where the agent_nickname is the nickname for your agent, java_package is the package of your agent, and agent_class is the java class name of your agent.
I’ve done the same in eclipse but always obtain the following error:
19/08/2007 08:36:12 PM jade.core.AgentContainerImpl startBootstrapAgents
GRAVE: Cannot create agent miagente: Class agente.Comunicador for agent ( agent-identifier :name miagente@linaresaliaga:1099/JADE ) not found [nested java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: agente.Comunicador]
19/08/2007 08:36:12 PM jade.core.AgentContainerImpl joinPlatform
If you know how to solve this problem, please make me know as soon as you can.
Comment by Richard — August 20, 2007 @ 9:46 am
This problem occurs when you don’t specified correctly class with agent. For example if agent class name is ContractNetResponderAgent and it’s in package examples.protocols then program arguments should look like: jade.Boot participant:examples.protocols.ContractNetResponderAgent

I was expecting the same issue, when using Eclipse, don’t know why.. but i exported runnables jars and it worked. Maybe some strange internal configuration for Eclipse.

Try the following command when starting JADE: java jade.Boot -gui -local-port 1020
Comment by SLIM — October 23, 2010 @ 3:44 am
Hi,
We also had the same problem. An I found that the port it is using is already bound. So try with this command
-gui -local-port 1100 jade.Boot
you have to specify another port like 1100.I think this may solve ur problem.
Cheers!!!

Hi everyone !!!
i have an inner class i.e
“public static class JadeAgent extends Agent” defined in package “Replication” under class “JServer”. The actual structure is:
package Replication;
public class JServer {
public JServer() {
// code
}
public static class JadeAgent extends Agent {
protected void setup( ) {
//code
}// end of setup
}// end of class JadeAgent
}// end of class JServer
Now when i try to run this code via command line(jade.Boot -gui WAgent:Replication.JServer.JadeAgent) it gives the following error:
Sep 13, 2008 4:34:03 PM jade.core.AgentContainerImpl startBootstrapAgents

I am new to java & JADE so kindly help me out I know that the problem is with the inner class. How should i specify static inner class in following command jade.Boot -gui WAgent:Replication.JServer.JadeAgent

would you please help me and so thanks for your help
Comment by Bahaa Alnasry — May 3, 2009 @ 5:01 pm
Hi. I created the configuration, and my agent runs correctly. I make only one note: at command line, the -gui param can be placed after jade.Boot, but in Eclipse, this don’t work. I put the -gui after jade.Boot and don’t work. You showed the correct form using -gui jade.Boot in Eclipse. I only make this note because other users can change the order of theses parameter and the Jade Gui don’t will appear. Thank you.

I see the error message and appear that java runtime don’t found the jade classes: Could not find the main class: jade.Boot.
You put the Jade’s jar files in the class path?
I decompress jade in the directory /opt/jade
I put theses lines in the file /etc/profile, to include jar’s in the class path:
export JADE_LIB=/opt/jade/lib
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JADE_LIB/http.jar:$JADE_LIB/iiop.jar:$JADE_LIB/jadeTools.jar:$JADE_LIB/jade.jar
Comment by Manoel Campos da Silva Fh — June 1, 2009 @ 9:22 pm

Do your jade application run from eclipse but don’t run outside? Do you receive some error message? You configured the class path correctly, how mentioned above?

Hi! I have done everything just as said in instructions, and I can run JADE from eclipse – thank You for this. But, I have a problem with arguments… Could you pleace explain more about it: “-gui -jade.Boot :.” ??
If my project name is “Multi-agent-platform”, and my “HelloAgent.java” is located in “src” folder (just under “Multi-agent-platform”) how should I write arguments in this case?
As I understood it should be like:
“-gui jade.Boot andrey:src.HelloAgent”
but it does not work
In the GUI there are NO my agent, as well as there are no such messages as “Hello World My name is andrey” as it goes when I run it in terminal
I have also tried:
“-gui jade.Boot andrey:src.HelloAgent”
without “src” but nothing have changed
Thank You for your attention
I would really be glad to get at answer
Thank You
Comment by Andrey — November 23, 2009 @ 5:55 am
If you agent is in a package, you must inform AgentAliasDesired:PackageName.MainClass.
For instance, I have a agent main class with name BookSellerAgent in the package booktrading, so, I ran java jade.Boot -gui seller:booktrading.BookSellerAgent, where seller is the alias that I chose for my agent. I my project the binaries are created in a bin directory, inside my agent project directory. To run the command shown, I must enter in the bin directory.

Hi farnaz.
Are you running Jade from within Eclipse? If you do, are you sure you have put the -gui option in the right place? It should be in program argument field, not in the filed with the main class.

How do i export to jar file ?
I select jade.Boot as “Main Class” in Jar Export, but it show this message error:

I have to say that it sucks that almost 50% of people here, have the same problem of this error :
“class not found exception”
I ALSO have the same error and have been stuck since hours ! It sucks because JADE has not done anything to solve that problem . I have seen that problem so in so many places on the internet ! I wish someone would solve that problem here. SO many people have that exact same problem ! Does anyone have the solution or workaround on how to get over that “class not found exception” ? Please ?
Comment by Kumar Manish — April 19, 2010 @ 3:24 pm
I could solve the exception if I add “-local-port 1110″ or any other port number in my arguments. But I am facing “Cannot create Agent” issue. Any pointers on that?
Comment by Bird — April 23, 2010 @ 12:22 am
hi, are you using the -cp plus the path for your classes? because, I was having the same issue, and this solved my problem… another thing is to check if you are using the correct path for your class, and also check the package. I don’t think this is a problem of Jade, I think this issue is due to the user, most of the times. At least, every time i had this problem, it was my fault.

Hello,
I am trying to run an agent using JADE in Eclipse, that is the
BookBuyerAgent. I configure Jade using the instructions here.
As soon as I run it, I receive the following messages:
1.- WARNING: ignoring command line argument
buyer:test.BookBuyerAgent.java occurring after agents specification
2.- Note that agent specifications must be separated by a semicolon
character “;” without spaces
3.- Cannot create an agent with no name. Class was jade.Boot
The configuration of eclipse is:
Main class: jade.Boot
Arguments: -gui jade.Boot buyer:test.BookBuyerAgent.java
The GUI of jade starts, but not agent is detected or created. Could
somebody tells me if there a mistake in Eclipse configuration?.
