It's a little frustrating working with time in Jess. You can store a time as a java.util.Date, but then you can't compare it with <, >, etc...if you work with it as a long, then you can't call + and other math functions; they change the number into INTEGER. If you work with time as ms/1000, then you lose a lot of accuracy.
Any suggestions on how best to handle time? I have a few specific ones: 1. Extend <, >, etc. to work with Comparable objects. 2. Instead of printing ExternalAddress and so forth when printing out fact lists, use an extra slot descriptor to indicate that toString() should be called on the object in the fact slot, and that used as the text to represent the object. 3. Extend + and other math functions to work with LONG values.
