Cool!
I've also got some other patches from other folks, that might be
interesting. As noted earlier, Monday I start the Werkflow project,
which will rely upon drools, so expect a decent amount of movement
in the codebase during the next few weeks.

Yes, hopefully the application of drools will be independent of the
semantic modules within drools. ie, Werkflow uses drools, but the
rules could certainly be 'RDF rules' or similar. Maybe. ;)

btw, if you're doing graphs, I recommend the jakarta graph package.
I think it's currently in the commons-sandbox
http://jakarta.apache.org/
I'll send a direct link when I find it. Else, sync out the commons-sandbox
CVS and take a browse.

I'll also be hacking drools to support maven a bit better. (Jason van Zyl and
I have been hacking maven like madmen, recently)
