Currently (5.2.0, but not <= 5.1.1) you can do:
rule future
when
Date( $t: time ) from new Date()
$p: Person( $dob: dob after[0] $t )
then
System.out.println( $p.getName() + " not born yet." );
end
There are indeed some restrictions w.r.t. the use of temporal operators but
comparing Date/long field to Date/long field is OK.
(@Lisa: You realize that new Date() is somewhat unprecise when used to mean
"today".)
