Yah, finally got drools compiling against the latest Maven.

www.dyade.fr, somewhere, I'd guess. ;)

It's a scheduler.  And I think we're not using it anymore, since
JDK 1.3 has a lightweight scheduler built in.   Or, we may go to
quarts (quarts.sf.net, I think).

Though, jdring is the basis for some commercial scheduler out there.

Anyhow, if we're using it, it's for the <duration/> marker.

Cool!

Okay, today I'll read the RDF specs so that I might understand this stuff.
Is RDF related to RSS at all?  I seem to see them together.  And my blogs
will produce an RSS from the front-page.

Cool.  Definitely keep me in the loop.
