CougaarIDE Use:

Running a Cougaar Project


Highlight the project you want to run (Must be a Cougaar Project).

 

Then select the Run menu, and select "Run...". Then double Click the Cougaar icon in the Tree view to create a new Launch Configuration.
cougaar run

Enter a name for the run configuration (e.g Test Project Run), then click on the "Arguments" tab.
run arguments

The arguments Tab is pre-populated with Cougaar parameters.  Items with COUGAAR_INSTALL_PATH will be converted to the projects Cougaar install path at runtime.  You must type in the name of the Cougaar node you want to execute and click ok.  If you do not want to use the default Cougaar arguments, you can deselect the checkbox for using the default arguments.  Parameters can be added, edited, or removed.  If you reselect the default arguments checkbox, changes will be lost.  You can also select the default working directory, if the base directory does not have your Cougaar configuration files, you must either change the working directory to the configs directory, or add the configs directory to your org.cougaar.config.path parameter setting.

 When you are finished with these tabs you can click Apply to save the settings and then Run to execute the Cougaar project.  Output will be shown in the console window.  You can use the same Launch configuration to debug the Cougaar project as well.
