/**
 * This class represents the intention abstraction from the BDI model. It
 * represents a goal that the agent is committed to achieve. It has the
 * associated goal and tries to execute plans to achieve it. It keeps a list of
 * the executed plans, and after using all plans unsuccessfully, the goal is
 * considered unachievable. When a plan fails, the BDI-interpreter cycle may
 * invoke the {@link #tryToAchive()} method again, so the intention tries
 * another plan. During its execution, the intention can be set to no longer
 * desired. This occurs during the agent reasoning cycle or when a goal is
 * dropped ({@link BDIAgent#dropGoal(Goal)}).
