Thanks Mark. <div>Agreeing with you that the Enterprise release is clearly more stable, the question really is how stable is the community release? For instance, Tomcat's 'community' release i.e. the version downloaded from Apache directly is very, very mature and stable. We've run that for many years with hardly any problems. Is the Drools community release close to that? Would we face big risks going with it in a production environment? I should add that the environment is not a financial type of system and we can probably live with a little bit of risk.</div>
<div><br>Thanks again.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 10:01 PM, Mark Proctor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mproctor@codehaus.org">mproctor@codehaus.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

</div>The commercial project code base is supported for 5 years and bugs are<br>
patched without forcing you to include new features or apis. It's tested<br>
against a wider range of projects and application servers and releases<br>
are generally based on a given corporate schedule.<br>
<br>
The project is released when it's ready and bug fixes are not<br>
backported, so you always need to be running bleeding edge to get latest<br>
bug fixes. So while you get the bug fixes, you also get all the new<br>
features which haven't had much testing yet and can introduce some level<br>
of instability. This puts a lot more onus, and thus cost, onto the end<br>
user to test more thoroughly in their environments.<br>
