How do I get started?
The best way to start using Agent Factory is to download and install the Agent Factory Netbeans Plugin from here. This contains a complete release of the Agent Factory framework together with most of the current interpreter / architecture implementations. I would then recommend that you take a look at the AFAPL2 Programmers Guide, which describes how to create agents using the AFAPL2 agent programming language.
When I create an Agent Factory Application using the Netbeans plugin, I get an error stating that /usr/lib/agentfactory does not exists
You are using an out of date version of the Netbeans plugin, please download the latest version from here.
