Cougaar Mac OS X

[Dimitrios Traskas]

Hi again,

I have tried the same test with Eclipse and your suggestions worked fine. I
managed to scale up my simple experiment to 1000 agents with no problem and
I am only having a difficulty with 2000 which could be down again to certain
settings such as number of threads in the pool. I can only assume that
NetBeans and the Idistro  CougaarDev module do not work as they should. I
also assume that you guys all use Eclipse and CougaarIDE for your
development which can make the difference. It would be worth putting down
your suggestion for preferred IDE.

Are the warnings:

WARN  [DirectSysStatSupplier] - No handler for Memory on platform Mac OS X
WARN  [DirectSysStatSupplier] - No handler for CPU on platform Mac OS X
WARN  [DirectSysStatSupplier] - No handler for Sockets on platform Mac OS X

something serious I have to look into? Do you believe they would cause a
problem later on?


Many Thanks
Dimitri
