Hi Wolfgang,
I am very interested in using Drools in common NLP tasks and would really
like to have something to startup with, while I am still drools novice.
Do you mind if I ask, is the code you posted part of some library/project?
This code was the result of one of a series of experiments with the intent
of
showing how
rules might be used for modelling prototypes (for a specific application
domain). I should emphasize that implementing a lexer by rules isn't the
most efficient technique, and blatantly disregarding available tools such as
lex or antlr3.
It does, however, illustrate the option of avoiding a potentially large set
of (parsing) rules by a set of facts that are "interpreted" by a single
generic rule expressing the basic behaviour of a FSM.

Thanks & best,
