    - #### dispatchSubgoal

          public boolean dispatchSubgoal(Goal subgoal)

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
      Dispatches a subgoal to be achieved. Dispatched subgoals are goals of an agent as long as the plan body that dispatched it is being executed.
      Specified by:
        `dispatchSubgoal` in interface `PlanBody`
      Parameters:
        `subgoal` - the subgoal to be dispatched.

    - #### dispatchSubgoalAndListen

          public boolean dispatchSubgoalAndListen(Goal subgoal)

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
      Dispatches a subgoal to be achieved and registers itself as a listener to receive a notification of the end of execution of the goal.
      Specified by:
        `dispatchSubgoalAndListen` in interface `PlanBody`
      Parameters:
        `subgoal` - the subgoal to be dispatched.
      Returns:
        true if the goal could be dispatched, false otherwise.

      Specified by:
        `getBeliefBase` in interface `PlanBody`
      Returns:
        the belief base containing the capability beliefs.

    - #### getCapability

          public Capability getCapability()

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
      Returns the capability associated with the plan of this plan body.
      Specified by:
        `getCapability` in interface `PlanBody`
      Returns:
        the capability.

    - #### getEndState

          public Plan.EndState getEndState()

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
      Returns the end state of the execution of this plan.
      Specified by:
        `getEndState` in interface `PlanBody`
      Returns:
        the end state of this plan, or null if it has not finished yet.

    - #### getGoal

          public Goal getGoal()

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
      Returns the goal to be achieved by this plan body.
      Specified by:
        `getGoal` in interface `PlanBody`
      Returns:
        the goal.

    - #### getGoalEvent

          public GoalEvent getGoalEvent()

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`

      Specified by:
        `getGoalEvent` in interface `PlanBody`
      Returns:
        the goal event or null if the queue is empty.

    - #### getGoalEvent

          public GoalEvent getGoalEvent(boolean block)

      Description copied from interface: `PlanBody`
