Class orchid.agent.MeetingAgent

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----orchid.agent.MeetingAgent

public class MeetingAgent

extends Object

implements IMeetingAgent, IMobile, IMobility, Serializable

To generate the interface : $ igen -v -d . orchid.agent.MeetingAgent.

If something goes wrong, IMobility has to be DE-implemented since there may be a bug in this Interface.
If so, swap the 2 lines of declaration of the class and comment the 2 moveTo methods.
