I've been looking around Choco, which has just (10 Sept) had a new major version release. It has a new site, and the following seem to be the main (English language) links: Main site - http://choco.emn.fr/ White paper (good intro, covers basic architecture, includes an example) - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/lib/exe/fetch.php?id=presentation&cache=cache&media=pdf:choco-presentation.pdf Download (the source download includes the compiled jar, but not the samples or javadocs) - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=download Tutorial: Introduction - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=introduction Model - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=model Solver - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=solver Constraints - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=constraints Advanced - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=advanced (The advanced section includes info on, for example, defining your own constraints, but some other sections are incomplete). FAQ - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=faq Exercises - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=exercises Solutions - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=solutions Licence - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/doku.php?id=bsd_licence Forum (popular) - http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=96738 New forum - http://www.emn.fr/x-info/choco-solver/forum/ AVOID the info at http://choco-solver.net since this appears to be mainly pre-2.0 (anything that refers to the "Problem" class). Also, note the lib requires Java 6 (at least for compilation) - see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2228414&forum_id=335512 Andrew
