Re: JESS: Re: Mysterious behavior when using Java5 enums in Jess

[Jan Willem Lokin]

So it seems that I got bitten by the fact that the dot is subtly
overloaded. Small surprise, since I never use dots in names. Would it
be an idea to have some mode of operation where dots in names are
flagged as warnings? Or is this a practical impossibility?
Alternatively it would already be convenient if an option of this sort
would be available in the Eclipse Jess editor.
