Below is an example of how this can be done.  

In Java, there is a clear distinction between creating and using
phases: they are different classes.  So a trickier part is connecting the
phases together.  You do that with the 
 
  new EZBinCImpl (new EZBinImp ())

expression.  The rest is like Objective C.  (When there are
using-phase constructors like in EZGraph, it's easier since the phase
switch is hidden.)

Oh, I noticed there's a problem with the use of string setters in this
class, so you may want to get updated DLLs and a new swarm.jar from:

    list = new ListImpl (aZone);

    for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
      list.addLast (new Agent (Math.log (i)));
