[rules-dev] Questions about DSL in 3.2

All, I will reintegrate/implement DSL support in drools-compiler, as we discussed before, as a pre-processor. I have some questions I would like to have your opinion about: Q1: Is there any reason for the DSL parser to be line based? Q2: I will make keywords configurable, so you can say "regra" for instance (in portuguese) instead of "rule", ok? Q3: Peter: I'm thinking in copy/port the DSL tree that you created into drools-compiler... I think we can leverage it to help create a better parser for the DSL, ok? Q4: do we need everything to be expandable in the DSL? or should we simply passthrough anything that is not expandable directly as a chunk to the DRL? Example: DSL: ===== ... regra ABC se ... entao System.out.println( "BLABLA" ); fim ... ==== Ok, I know that no business user will ever write System.out.println(), but it is just just an example. And the keywords are in portuguese for you guys to understand it better... ;) Thanks for the feeback.
