Abstract
This paper presents aplib, a Java library for programming intelligent agents, featuring BDI and multi agency, but adding on top of it a novel layer of tactical programming inspired by the domain of theorem proving. Aplib is also implemented in such a way to provide the fluency of a Domain Specific Language (DSL). Compared to dedicated BDI agent programming languages such as JASON, 2APL, or GOAL,aplib's embedded DSL approach does mean that \ programmers will still be limited by Java syntax, but on other hand they get all the advantages that Java programmers get: rich language features (object orientation, static type checking, -expression, libraries, etc), a whole array of development tools, integration with other technologies, large community, etc.
