Hello,
thanks you all for your support.
I have to announce that I could not recommend to use drools in our project.
This Bug was one of the main reasons for it. - Can hardly belief that this
is still the official stable release...
We now implement a simplified solution for our problem from scratch. It
will of course never have as many features as drools, neither in the
backend nor in the user interface.
Don't want to nag, just want to provide feedback.
Maybe I will have a look again in a year or two.
best wishes
Stefan

It is still realistic.. the team is preparing a beta release of
6.x.
When that is done, I hope they will focus on finalizing 5.x..
I am waiting for 5.6.Final myself :)
You may have answered this question before.. could you give a try at
5.5.1-SNAPSHOT?
Thanks for your patience
Davide

Hi all,
thanks a lot for your helpful answers.
I'm looking forward to the update to 5.6.0. Is the mentioned time
horizon ("a few days") still realistic? I.e. could you recommend me to
pause the evaluation of drools, instead of downgrading to 5.4.0?
We consider to use drools in a larger project, and I have to
decide whether I recommend drools, or prefer a simpler design developed
from scratch. As far it's an fact that I cannot recommend drools 5.5.0.
What version is reasonable to use for further evaluation?
