Thanks Bob once again for the assistance.
Anyone interested on using Unreal Tournament or UDK and control their own bot
behavior should check out Pogamut 3
(http://diana.ms.mff.cuni.cz/main/tiki-index.php).
Its a great tool and works perfectly with NetBeans Java

I do not have the answer for you. But, I would suggest going back and
reading the docs on each of those tools in detail. Keep notes on which
version you have and what versions of the other tools that you are
using that they have been tested with. It is common for a tool to only
work with versions of other tools they have been tested with.
Interface specs are very fragile. But, if you create a detailed table
showing the testing relationships between the tools you may find the
problem. Try to find versions of each that have been tested with each
other. It would also help to create a similar list of the capabilities
of each tool that you need for your project. If you can not verify
that a capability exists you will have to find a different tool or
change your project. By verify I mean not just examining the
documentation but testing to see if the capability actually exists.
Another thing to do is to turn on every kind of logging that each of
these tools has and examine the logs after a test. Error messages,
even normal logged messages, can tell you a lot about what is going on
in a tool.
For testing systems that talk over an TCP/IP connection I have found
that using a "wedge" or "man in the middle" tool can be helpful. The
wedge is acts as a relay between the two agents and logs all traffic
between the two. A fairly easy way to do that is to use a router as
the wedge.
Hope that helps,
Bob Pendleton
