OK, so the summary is that if I compile mvel HEAD with tests on, it fails.  So the mvel HEAD required by Drools doesn't pass its tests.  Eek; it's probably just in active development.

And, for the curious, it is also the case that mvel HEAD != mvel 2.1-SNAPSHOT as found in your friendly remote Maven repository.

If I brute force it (skip tests), then yes, drools core and drools compiler pass their tests, and as you noted earlier drools-verifier blows up.

Thanks for your work; I'll continue watching closely with interest.

Best,
Laird

   Thanks for the heads up. I am pretty sure this might be because you need MVEL HEAD as well. Can you try it and let me know?

OK; git cloned mvel, ran mvn -U clean install on it...

...and IT fails:

Failed tests:
  testStrictTypingCompilation(org.mvel2.tests.core.CoreConfidenceTests)

Tests in error:
  testAmazed(org.mvel2.compiler.GenericsTypeInferenceTest)

I'll build it, I guess, skipping tests, and then see if I can at least compile Drools against it.
