I want to start writing JADE in Eclipse. To do so I added the following script provided by Java Agent Development Framework - Eclipse and Maven integration.

I made an agent:

public class Test extends Agent {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    String nickname = "Peter";
    AID id = new AID(nickname, AID.ISLOCALNAME);


    protected void setup() {
        // Printout a welcome message
        System.out.println("Hello! Buyer-agent " +getAID().getName()+ " is ready.");
    }
}

And when I run my JadeBootThread.run() with the following parameters:

private final String ACTOR_NAMES_args = "buyer:test.Test";

private final String GUI_args = "-gui";

I get the following error:

I tried messing around with the private final String GUI_args = "-gui"; parameters and added "-local-port 1111" but this gave the exact same error (the port in the error also stayed 1099)

Add the following while running your code as arguments in eclipse 

-gui -host 192.168.2.9 -port 12344 
agentttt:com.DAO.test_agents.PingAgent

Then name main class as 

jade.Boot

Then just run your code with all the external jar files added ,i guess this won't give any ICP error.

Another way might be to check if a another program uses that port and thereby blocking JADE from starting correctly. You can find out which program is using which port by using netstat in windows

How can you find out which process is listening on a port on Windows?

In my case it was Dropbox. I started Dropbox, closed it and started JADE again --> worked fine this way :)
