The attached diff (against 3.0.5 sources) adds a condition to the
ClassFieldInspector to not analyze methods named <clinit>. For some
reason, the Groovy compiler is outputing classes that were causing
this check to choke and throw an IllegalArgumentException because of
a <clinit> method with ACC_PUBLIC access code.
Applying this patch allows Drools to operate correctly with compiled
Groovy Fact classes.
This seems like a pretty innocuous change that someone should apply
to SVN. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to create a test case
for it.
