/**
  If you used Java web start and did not open its console, 
  maybe that you did not see anything in the previous example as the agents were launched without a GUI.
  
  executeThisAgent(int, boolean, String...) can also take 
  additional parameters, especially MaDKit options such as 
  specified in the madkit.kernel.Madkit.BooleanOption enumeration.
  
  Let us add the BooleanOption#console option to request the launching of the madkit.gui.ConsoleAgent,
  which is a specific agent embedded that gathers all System.out outputs
  in its own GUI, so that we can also see the outputs of agents that have no GUI.
