I want to implement some simple genetic algorithms in Java.
So far I found only JGAP. Did somebody has some experience with that? And do you know other Java libraries for GA?
I do not want to write it my own as in GA written in Java and I have to use Java, so What is the most active genetic programming library? is also not that helpful.
I wrote the Watchmaker Framework so my opinions are not unbiased. ECJ and JGAP are the two most established options and probably the most comprehensive. On the other hand their age means they target older versions of Java, which means no generics.
The Hidden Clause blog did a series of posts (scroll down the list to see them) comparing JGAP, ECJ and Watchmaker.
Of the frameworks I didn’t write, Jenes is probably the one that has the API that I most like the look of. It too uses a more modern generics-based approach.
