Hi

The traffic simulation was built ecj-style: there are a bunch of
interfaces, and actual implementations for each component are put together
at run time by reading a textual specification (a bunch of .params files)

(see http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/extensions/webtutorial1/ for
a tutorial on params files and parameterizing your sim)

So look through the .params files in the traffic jar. Some params files
include other files (see "parent"), and not all .params files are enough
by themselves. Try grid/gridtest.params, grid/alternatinggrid.params,
grid/torus/*.params

Also, try ....traffic.grid.GridCityTrafficSimWithUI.java
