[Repast-interest] can the old files of Repast J run on Repast Simphony 2.0 ?

[Jianing Z. <zj...@sj...>]

Hi,

I am new to Repast, and I don't know Java. Recently I'm trying to use
Repast to simulate the evolution of a system includes several kinds of
companies. I have got an example built on Repast J from another researcher.
So I have three questions:
1. The example I got was done in the year 2009, it's a src folder with
several  .java files in it. How can I run it on Repast Simphony 2.0 ? I
just want to see how it works and get a quick start.
2. If I want to use Repast Simphony, should I be acquainted with Java
language ? and if so, are there any recommend books or martirials to start
with? I only know C and C++ for now.
3. Is there any similar research ? ( to simulate the evolution of a system
includes several kinds of companies) I have only found some research about
supply chain and I wonder if there's more that I couldn't find ?

Thanks very much for your help,

Eolande
