Balu, Good Sleuthing! Yes, Jess will NOT be distributed with the open source version. We have replaced Jess based inference tool with BeanShell based inference tool. This will come with a rule editing tool (Greed) which converts the specified rules into Java code. Since Proteus Inference tools are anything that implement the inference tool interface this is possible without much difficulty.
You must take a look at Greed, following the paradigm of the main authoring tool, it allows creating of rules by simple dragging and dropping. It does not allow creating every possible kind of rule but you can still create some very complex rules. I intended this to be a tool that can be used by other applications too and in due course will separate it completely from other tools to make it more widely useful.
