Quality Release
-----------------
I have used AgEx in many simulations, but I never tried it in others platforms or environments.
So, it may present bugs or some problems in setup.

Installation Requirements
---------------------------
AgEx uses a firebird database throught a jdbc driver, called jaybird. It also uses JADE as 
communication infrastructure. Therefore, it needs the following software installed:
Firebird 2.1 or newer.
JADE 3.4 or newer.  (It must be in the classpath in order to be found by AgEx)
JayBird 2.1 or newer. (It must be in the classpath in order to be found by AgEx)
