Re: [rules-users] Janino vs. Eclipse
Dirk, If you aren't sure, just stick with the Eclipse JDT one. If you have problems with that switch to Janino. Both are embedded jars. Janino is jdk1.4 only, Eclipse does jdk1.5.

That was a big factor for me, but I understood that "Eclipse" was only usable if you were generating static rules (in the IDE) for later deployment. Now I'm not so sure... -- Dirk Bergstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Juniper Networks Inc., Computer Geek Tel: 408.745.3182 Fax: 408.745.8905 ___ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

That's definetely a reason to use Eclipse, for me. Beyond that, I really did not investigate, either.
