Hi Folks, We're pleased to announce the availability of version 7.0b7 of Jess, the Rule Engine for the Java Platform. This will be the last beta version, to be followed by a final release candidate.
The JessML XML rule language and its associated tools have been extended in this version: JessML is now a hybrid imperative/declarative language, such that you can not only write rules, but also procedural code. Most files of Jess language code can be translated directly into JessML and will execute the same way. Jess 7.0b7 feastures improved Content Assist in the JessDE editor and fixes some lingering issues with the "accumulate" CE. >From the change log: Boolean comparison operators work on Comparables. Support for braces in editor. Enormous improvements in editor "content assist" features. Undo removes both characters of autoinserted parentheses. Added context help for completion proposals. Fixed bug in modifying multifield facts (thanks Brian Zhou). JessML includes docstrings for all constructs (thanks Erich Oliphant). JessML now has imperative features. 36% of application test suite now runs in XML mode. Can specify an XML file as argument on command line. Fix error switching to Debug Perspective.
