Interface DFGUIAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:

df

public interface DFGUIAdapter

This interface must be implemented by a GUI that wants to interact with the DF agent. Two implementations of this interface have been realized: the class jade.domain.df (used by the DF agent itself) and the class jade.applet.DFAppletCommunicator (used by the DFApplet).
