Ok, I'll wait until you figure out where this is going. I may play around anyway, just to figure out argouml.
Actually I was going to use argouml; I don't have any budget to buy togetherj. I have heard great things about it though.

Chances are, I'll probably re-start with JEOPS as the base, and re-write 1/2 of it. Then, I'll rewrite the other 1/2, ending in a new product. The conflict I'm having is that if The Day Job wants a rules engine, and I write one for them, it's closed source, which is Bad. If I start with JEOPS, which is LGPLd, then the thing I write will also be LGPLd. Which means its open-source, of course. And as licenses go, LGPL for a library is acceptable to me. Basically, I can't directly work on drools under the BSD license without creating a conflict-of-interest with the Day Job at this point. And JEOPS has done some nice stuff, honestly. No point in re-inventing the wheel. Though, getting interpreted rules as opposed to compiled rules is definitely at the top of my agenda. As is swapping ArrayList for the Vectors, etc. I have a feeling that at least the public API will morph to being basically what you see in drools currently. So, I wouldn't spend too much effort documenting the current code-base. btw, you using TogetherJ or similar to document into UML? TogetherJ rocks my world. -bob _______________________________________________ drools-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/drools-interest _______________________________________________ drools-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/drools-interest
