Hi,
That's not a bug, it's a feature (really!) What the while loop does is
arrange to have the enclosde code execute once if reading from a file,
or forever if reading from stdin. The variable (a member, not a local)
is reset outside the loop so that if you call execute a second time
after calling it to read from a file, it will read from stdin that
second time. In the various example programs, jess.Console and
jess.ConsoleApplet make use of this behaviour; if you startthem to
read a file, they will keep running after reading the file. The
default behaviour of jess.Main itself, though, is to read the file,
then exit. Otherwise it would be difficult to use Jess in "batch mode."
