- An instance of JCGP encapsulates the entire experiment. It contains a <code>Resources</code>
- object which can be retrieved via a getter. Modules can be selected using their
- respective setters.
- <br><br>
- The flow of the experiment is controlled using <code>start()</code>, <code>nextGeneration()</code>
- and <code>reset()</code>. Files can be loaded with their respective load methods and
- chromosome configurations can be saved with <code>saveChromosome()</code>.
- <br><br>
- JCGP supports an extra console in addition to <code>System.console()</code>, so that messages
- can also be printed to a GUI, for example. This extra console can be set with <code>setConsole()</code>,
- and must implement jcgp.resources.Console.</div>
