Chapter 2. Running Mica

In the Mica distribution you will find the file mica.jar. If you wish to use Mica in an application you simple need to add this file to the application's classpath. If the application needs to use the SQLBlackboard then you will also need to add a compatible SQL database will also need to be available. This can be accomplished by adding the file hsqldb.jar [2] provided with the distribution to the classpath as well.

There are C libraries available for creating agents using XML over TCP agent transports that may be provided upon request. Send a message to mmcgill@cse.unsw.edu.au if you would like to try them.
