JABM is a Java framework for building agent-based simulation models. A
simulation model is constructed using dependency
injection by creating
a Spring beans configuration
file
which specifies which classes to use in the simulation and the values of
any attributes (parameters). The Spring configuration file is specified
using the system property jabm.config .
The main application class is
DesktopSimulationManager
JABM requires Java version 6 or later. It has been tested against version 1.6.0_35 and 1.7.0_75.
Note that on Mac OS, you will need to use the Oracle version of Java instead of the default one shipped with the OS.
The project archive can be imported directly into the Eclipse IDE as an existing
project. Alternatively, you can import the project into almost any Java IDE by
importing the maven project file pom.xml.
In order to add jabm as a dependency to a Maven project, configure the following repository:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jabm.sourceforge.net</id>
<url>http://jabm.sourceforge.net/mvn-repo/jabm</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
and then configure a dependency on the jabm artifact; for example:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jabm</groupId>
<artifactId>jabm</artifactId>
<version>0.9.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The distribution archive can be imported directly into the Eclipse
IDE by using the
File/Import
menu item. Create a launch
configuration
in the jabm-examples project with the main class
net.sourceforge.jabm.DesktopSimulationManager and specify which
configuration file you want to use by setting the system property
jabm.config using the JVM argument -D , for example
-Djabm.config=config/elfarolbar.xml
