I suspect Marc means an integrated inference engine a la CLIPS or JESS (not
freely available/usable). It is better to use a Rete-based engine just to
stave off performance problems like the ones that you reported with JEOPS
(which I think is otherwise a good idea).
The community process will release an API really and perhaps an anaemic rule
engine implementation. They wanted JESS but, it's author has clarified the
fact that JESS is _commercial_ software with access to source code not
freely available open source.
One option (which I am not neccesarily advocating) is to do a port of CLIPS
to Java if the version you have has no restrictions on it's use and porting.
The best option however is to find an open source inference engine that we
can hook up to. In the meantime we can integrate a couple of the more
affordable commercial stuff like JESS. Of course we can't bundle JESS or
other commercial engines with JBoss...
