Comments (!) in certain places flagged as errors, dialect "mvel"
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-3198
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3198
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: drools-compiler (expert)
    Affects Versions: 5.3.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Wolfgang Laun
            Assignee: Mark Proctor
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 5.3.0.CR1


A bracketed comment (/* - */) is flagged as an error when it appears
* in a cast after the type name (/*X*/)
* immediately after a class name after new (/*Y*/)

Rather wild error messages which don't help at all are emitted, see below.

import java.util.HashMap;

declare Student
   name : String @key
   gradeMap : HashMap   
end

rule KickOff
dialect "mvel"
when
then
    long l = (long /*X*/)0;
    Student s = new Student/*Y*/( "Joe" );
    s.gradeMap = new HashMap/*Y*/();
    insert( s );
end

########### Sample error message:

Unable to Analyse Expression Student s = new Student/*Y*/( "Joe" );
    s.gradeMap = new HashMap();
    drools.insert( s );:
[Error: Failed to compileShared: 1 compilation error(s): 
 - (1,17) could not resolve class: Student/*Y*/]
[Near : {... jectGradeMap().put( "CompSc", 0 ); ....}]
