Making your own behavior: Action plan

Figure 3: Screen shot of the build configuration

1. First make a new project for your specific behavior (please do not use the behaviordemo, it is only made for demo purpose).

   For thesis students: put this project into a CVS repository, both for backup as for version changes reasons.

   • File$\rightarrow$ New$\rightarrow$ AspectJ Project
   • Use as project name: yourname.agvsimulation
   • Set the Create separate source and output folder option and press Finish
   • Go to the project properties, the AspectJ tab and fill in the output jar for this project (e.g. yourname_agvsimulation.jar)
2. Add a reference to the logger we are using:
   • Make a new directory libs in your project
   • Copy the jarfile for logging from the demo project, under folder "libs", using a File Browser (outside exlipse). Afterwards press F5 to see the jar file in the directory libs (within the package explorer).
   • Add this jar to the build path: Right click(on the jar file)$\rightarrow$ Build Path$\rightarrow$ Add to build path.
   • Copy the log configuration file from the demo project into your project (edit this file later on if you want to enable/disable loggers).
3. Add the agentwise_agvsimulation.jar to the build path of your project: Project properties$\rightarrow$ Java Build Path$\rightarrow$ Libraries, next Add Jar and add you find under agentwise.agvsimulation (should look like figure 3).
4. Make a new package with the name: yourname.agvsimulation.agv.behavior
5. Make a new class in this package with the name AGVBehaviour, extending from AGVBehaviour
6. Put some behavior in it (maybe copy the random walk behavior)...
7. Change the parameters of the simulator to refer to this new jarfile, log configuration, ...

       -j ../yourname.agvsimulation/yourname_agvsimulation.jar
       -b agentwise.agvsimulation.behaviordemo.AGVTestBehaviour
       --logconfig ../yourname.agvsimulation/logconfig.xml
