> I'm just doing a brain dump of how I think I'd like to see the 5.0 api move, where we move from a rule oriented framework to a knowledge oriented framework for rules and processes.
sounds interesting. how exactly do you see processes, integrated in the knowledgebase, other than just calling ordinary java classes in the then part of a rule? Will there be support for other AI-type algorithms?

This will contain all public user apis for all modules in the project, which will allow us to support service frameworks better, such as OSGi. This will also allow us to more easily differentiate from public stable apis and internal apis. > > To get compability with 4.0.x we'll have a drools4-adapter jar, which will keep all the 4.0 names and just wrap and delegate to the new impl. We won't be able to achieve 100% api comptability, but we should be able to for all the most common public apis. > > Mark > _______________________________________________ > rules-dev mailing list > rules-dev@lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-dev > _______________________________________________ rules-dev mailing list rules-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-dev
