I'll not create any JIRAs for problems that come and go with the presence and absence of dialect "mvel".<br><br>After one of those, Mark has urged me to create another JIRA for MVEL, and this I just won't do. For me, as a <i>Drools </i>user, this project <i>Drools </i>has adopted MVEL as a vehicle for primary expression and statement evaluation; since 5.2.0 it seems that I don't have a choice for some parts of the Drools language. For me, this means that the full responsibility now rests with the Drools team - I cannot simply work around by sticking with 'dialect "java"'.<br>
<br>Sorry if this sounds harsh and egocentric, but what I've heard about MVEL maintainer's non-eagerness for fixing bugs hasn't inspired me to do otherwise. (Since this is hearsay, I should add the politically correct statement: "innocent until proven otherwise".)<br>
