/**
* A simple example of how can you run all components of the samples-mines-sarsa project from a single Java class.
* This is strictly for the convenience of not having to run three terminal windows and start three
* separate processes all of the time. In this case, all three components (agent/environment/experiment)
* are communicating over sockets.
*
* You could use this same approach to run any pair of components too, so if only your agent and environment
* were in Java, or only the agent and experiment, you could save some effort by bundling them like this,
* and run the final missing component from another language.
*
* See RunMinesSarsaExperimentNoSockets to see how you can use the new setGlue method of the RL-Glue Java Extension
* to run Java Agent/Environment/Experiment without sockets in a single program.
