>> Perhaps a little, but not greatly. .... Am happy to hear. Jess was my first introduction to rules engines 4-5 years back but did not use it for a production system. Now we are looking to build a 'guided navigation' type of app using Jess where the rules determine what steps does a user need to do. I am really excited to be able to use a rules engine for that type of application; I am sure many of you have built similar things. Will keep you posted on questions/findings/lessons.
Not having done real development for many years, I really enjoyed using the Jess shell (still v6, from the book) and actually build small prototypes with rules. Agree on the Drools making rules more accessible.
