Answers

• Why should I use jademx?
  There are two main reasons:
  1. jademx gives you JMX access to JADE software agents. This allows a JADE agent to expose attributes, operations, and notifications in a JMX-compliant manner as a DynamicMBean, as well as providing a convenient method for deploying JADE agents (regardless of whether the JADE agents are jademx-aware), particularly in a J2EE environment.
  2. jademx easily enables the running of a JADE agent unit test under JUnit; the unit level is an ACL message. See the Testing using JUnit section of the tutorial.
