Hi Mark,
I got excited about the possibilities so I tried to port Drools over about
6 months ago and got hung up for all of the reasons you have mentioned....
I would like to point out (as I experiment w/the AlphaPad Android 4 Tablet
-> wholesale from China) that the 'new' up and coming Android tablets
really 'do' have plenty of processing power and capacity to handle the Rete
Algorithm.
I have ported Prolog to the Android platform (B&N Color Nook) and as long
as it's loaded 'properly' it runs plenty fast.
I also suspect that the corporate market would have some hidden (but quite
profitable) uses for Drools on the Android Tablet Platform, as I think the
flood of Cheap high quality Tablets that I think China will flood the US
market with, is inevitable. I live in the Netherlands (X-Pat from Chicago),
so we get to see some of these trends before they hit the mainland.
Just food for thought, and congrats on a great product! :-)

currently drools relies on runtime code generation, and our
architecture
is built around that. I think it may run already if you use pure MVEL with
5.4 - or atleast a few tweaks and it shoud run. 1) probably stop the JIT
kicking in to ASM bytecode statements. 2) I think I remember some
classloader problem, android needs parent classloader. The other option is
we pre-generate all our generated bytecode and put it in a jar so it can be
resolved when needed.
I've not prioritised it, because our Rete algorithm can be too eager for
mobile enviornments. However I almost have lazy rete working, that merges
the benefits of Rete and Leaps; the resulting algorithm is ideal for mobile
enviornments. Once I get that working, I'll be more keen to accelerate our
mobile efforts.

Hi Gents!
Great News!
Is there any talk about porting Drools to Android 4 by chance?
Inquiring Minds want to know .... :-)
