If you are reading this you have either (1) downloaded and unpacked version 0.3 (Why 0.3 instead of 3.0?) of the Java Agent Template (JAT_0.3) or (2) you are browsing through the JAT website trying to decide whether you should download the JAT.

Current documentation includes a brief overview of the JAT, a set of instructions for quickly getting some JAT agents up and running, two example scenarios, more extensive architectural/functional descriptions for JAT developers (future documentation efforts will focus on these pages), the javadoc generated API pages and some information on support resources. I have tried to inline as much information as possible within the source code. Consequently, the API currently provides the most detailed and thorough source of documentation. I recommend that everyone first read the quick start documentation and then work through the two examples. I hope my efforts are not completely confusing and have some utility to the academic/industrial research community. Enjoy.
