If you need source compatibility between ECLIPSE and Jess, I would think the only way you're going to get it is to write a set of functions in both ECLIPSE and Jess which have the same interface. If ECLIPSE already has a set of standard date-related functions, maybe you could emulate them in Jess.
If you didn't need source compatibility, then you could simply work with java.util.Date objects directly from the Jess language -- perhaps with some help from a small set of deffunctions. Pattern matching with Dates comes up periodically on this list; maybe Jess needs DATE as a built-in type? Anybody have any ideas on this?
