[rules-dev] drools-spring and drools-guice

[Paul Browne]

Mark,

I've already a bit of code that does simple Spring Integration (and am 
clear to donate it to Drools, need to change it to LGPL). Not sure what 
you'll think of the quality (!) but already used on a client site, might 
be a useful starting point.
