AOS has taken a modular approach to JACK's development enabling users to select only those components that suit their requirements.

To date, JACK offers the following components:

	Runtime Environment
	Compiler
	BDI Agent Model
	Teams Model
	Development Environment
		Component Browser/Editor
		Design Tool
		Plan Editor
		Plan Tracer
	Agent Interaction Display
	JACOB Object Framework
		Object Model Compiler
		Object Model Browser/Editor

JACOB provides very fast object and transport facilities to integrate with other processes or existing applications. JACOB provides libraries to support this inter-process connectivity in both Java and C++.
