Re: [rules-dev] timer and duration tests releases- and please note the PS!

Hi Mark, here now: Ooh, it seems Eclipse outwitted me once again. But I think I made it on the 2nd try... -W

PS: (1) A decision on the matter of DSL variables would be appreciated. I'm currently developing a non-trivial DSL, and learning a lot about what's needed for a /real world /application. Most importantly, some means of structuring the DSL definition, so that they can be applied distinctively to specific groups of rules. This reduces the risk of "ricochets" if you know what I mean. I've thought about proposing an entirely new approach, based on DRL syntactic entities, i.e., the expansion of a DSL phrase must be a "medium level" non-terminal of the DRL language. But this certainly restricts phrase parameters to terminals. If it's too sophisticated, you end up with a parser/compiler almost as nasty as ANTLR3. (2) I haven't forgotten the spreadsheet fixes. There's another relic I found: some of the column keywords have single letter alternatives (e.g. "U" for "no-loop", "X" for "activation-group"). Should I retain them - they are NOT documented in Expert. Should I add timer(int:)? Duration is deprecated, I'll leave this in but it ought to be marked clearly as such in the documentation, at least. Please advise - I can live with everything - non of this is important for my company, but I want to get the fixes and additions out of my thinning hair ;-) _______________________________________________ rules-dev mailing list rules-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-dev
