How to start JADE Gui within another Gui? Let's say I have a button on my Gui. After hitting that button the JADE Gui will started.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming by JADE Gui you mean the JADE RMA
Since the RMA is itself an Agent, showing the RMA gui is simply a matter of creating and starting the RMA agent.
If you were doing this through code (ie. not through the command-line or the gui), you would have to have a reference to the container controller for the container that you would like to start it on, and you would just call the createAgent() method on it.
import jade.wrapper.AgentController;
import jade.wrapper.ContainerController;
...
ContainerController myContainer;
// .. load a container into the above variable ..
try {
AgentController rma = myContainer.createNewAgent("rma", "jade.tools.rma.rma", null);
rma.start();
} catch(StaleProxyException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You can start a main container from code like this
import jade.core.Runtime;
import jade.core.Profile;
import jade.core.ProfileImpl;
...
Runtime myRuntime = Runtime.instance();
// prepare the settings for the platform that we're going to start
Profile myProfile = new ProfileImpl();
// create the main container
myContainer = myRuntime.createMainContainer(myProfile);
Or you can start a normal agent container and connect to an external container like this
import jade.core.Runtime;
import jade.core.Profile;
import jade.core.ProfileImpl;
...
Runtime myRuntime = Runtime.instance();
// prepare the settings for the platform that we're going to connect to
Profile myProfile = new ProfileImpl();
myProfile.setParameter(Profile.MAIN_HOST, "myhost");
myProfile.setParameter(Profile.MAIN_PORT, "1099");
// create the agent container
myContainer = myRuntime.createAgentContainer(myProfile);
