This is the source Dockerfile for the masoudkf/jade-java repository on DockerHub. The image can be used for both compiling and running JADE-based applications.

⚠️ Warning: The official JADE website appears to be down at the time of this writing. As a result, the image uses another repo to build JADE .jar file. I downloaded JADE's source code a while back, and now that the official website is down, I've put everything in this repo.

Compile

Pull the image:

docker pull masoudkf/java-jade

Move to your project directory:

cd <Your-Project-Directory>

Write your agent:

cat >./HelloWorld.java <<EOL
import jade.core.Agent;

public class HelloWorld extends Agent
{
    protected void setup()
    {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
        System.out.println("My name is "+ getLocalName());
    }
}
EOL

Compile your files:

docker run -v $(pwd):/app --name jade-test --rm masoudkf/java-jade

This will put the compiled files in the current directory. The default command is javac -d . *.java. If you want to run a different command for compiling, you can add it to the command above. You can also add files to the CLASSPATH environment variable by passing the CP env in the run command.

docker run -v $(pwd):/app --name jade-test -e CP=./mylib.jar --rm masoudkf/java-jade javac MyFile.java

Run

Run this command after compiling your files:

docker run -v $(pwd):/app --name jade-test --rm masoudkf/java-jade java jade.Boot -agents hwagent:HelloWorld

You should see this output:

Hello World!
My name is hwagent
