Agent Modeling Platform Environment Setup

If you want to develop for AMP, or install AMP from the SDK or Update site drops these are the dependencies you'll need. Most users should just install from the discovery tools or update sites.

  1. Download and install Eclipse Helios (3.6.x) Modeling from Eclispe Download Site.
  2. Launch Eclipse
  3. Open the installation dialog (Help -> Install new software...)
  4. Install Eclipse Dependencies described below from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios. You can also just use the Modeling Discovery tool! (Or you can use source code bundles involved, see file downloads. But this is time-consuming and generally pointless.)
  5. Install non-Eclipse Dependencies
    1. LWLGL feature from: http://lwjgl.org/update
    2. Repast Dependencies. Only if you intend to develop for Repast Target. See the Repast Development page. Note that you can build by including only the repast.simphony.score project. That's what we generally do as it avoids needing to install a bunch of other tools like groovy. Then you can still target the actual Repast environment at runtime, but the setup for that is beyond the scope of this document.
  6. Restart Eclipse
