[rules-users] Shadow Facts don't require default no-arg constructor anymore

[Edson Tirelli]

   All,

   As some of you trying out 3.1M1 already noticed, we were requiring 
all classes of facts asserted into working memory to have a no-arg 
default public constructor. This was because shadow facts are 
implemented as lazy proxies internally in the engine, even not being 
"accessible" from external world.
   Today I inlined and integrated Objenesis 
(http://objenesis.googlecode.com/svn/docs/index.html) into drools-core 
as a way to avoid that. Objenesis team did a pretty good job in their 
project and I can say I'm really happy with the results. Facts don't 
need any special constructor anymore.
   So far, all my tests passed and I found no problem. Although, I would 
like to ask those of you trying out new drools version in different 
environments (Application Servers, Security Managers, OSs and JVMs) to 
checkout and try trunk code. Please let us know if you encounter any odd 
exception.

   Work was done under: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-700

   Thank you,
     Edson
