Jason is an interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak. It implements the operational semantics of that language, and provides a platform for the development of multi-agent systems, with many user-customisable features. Jason is available as Open Source, and is distributed under GNU LGPL.
Jason is developed by Jomi F. Hübner and Rafael H. Bordini, based on previous work done with many colleagues, in particular Michael Fisher, Joyce Martins, Álvaro Moreira, Renata Vieira, Willem Visser, Mike Wooldridge, but also many others, as acknowledged in the manual (see the documents page).
Most of the Jason documentation is available in the doc folder.

ℹ️

In Jason 2.0 the way to run the Jason IDE (based on jEdit) has changed. Rather than running an application (Jason.exe or Jason.app), the IDE is now run by double clicking the jedit/jedit.jar file or using the script files in the scripts folder.

gradle is available here.

the config task builds the jason jar, configure jason properties file, and place all jars in

Examples can be run using the jason shell script, for example:
jason examples/gold-miners-II/miners.mas2j
The Jason IDE based on jEdit can be launched by the jason-ide script or java -jar build/jedit/jedit.jar.
