Compare Swarm with Repast

[Xiaodong Li]

Dear swarm modelers,

Just had a browse at Repast Web site... I am wondering if anyone has done 
some serious comparison between Swarm and Repast.  It seems that Repast 
offers features almost just as good as Swarm, apart from its advantages of 
being built upon Java. Can anyone tell any pitfall before I consider to 
jump in the boat?

It seems to me that Repast lacks of good tutorials and application examples 
for beginners to follow... I cannot find anything like the simpleBug to 
ExperBug that kind of examples, which I think is very helpful in Swarm.

Comments are appreciated.
