I second John.
I found JESS is very easy to work with Java; and the support is
prompt, details with great explanations.

I’m using Jess on a large DARPA project, and I find it to be a
mature and stable platform. The mailing list goes quiet but responds
quickly when people ask questions. The Jess language is a subset of
LISP, which is an obvious touchpoint for religious debates, so if
you’re looking for a “reason” to disprefer Jess, it’s right
there. On the other hand, the integration with Java is robust, to the
point where you can interact entirely with the rule engine via Java if
you wish. The rule engine itself has a rich feature set and appears to
implement the Rete algorithm efficiently. The original developer and
author of Jess in Action, Ernest Friedman-Hill, responds promptly and
thoughtfully to technical questions posted to the mailing list.

Subject: Re: JESS: Is Jess still alive, and Jess In Action
I have been waiting a LONG time for someone besides me to ask this
question.
Can't wait to hear the answer ;-)

Hi,
We're looking at a couple of Java rules engines, Jess among them.
It's been a couple of years since the site has been updated - is Jess
still under active development?
I've started reading through Jess In Action. The book was
published in 2003 - is it still applicable to the 2008 version of
Jess?
Thanks,
Paul
