Re: [rules-dev] [rules-users] DRL to XML transformation
by Wolfgang Laun
The result of XmlDumper in its current state may not accurately reflect all
that can now (5.4.0) be written in DRL. At least I got that impression when
I was looking at XmlDumper earlier (IIRC ~5.2.0) and found some glitches
even then.
Mark, Michael: I'd be pleased to learn that this has been fixed. :)
