[rules-users] Replacing Hand Written Rules

Hi, I am having a 5000+ hand written rules which is used in an open source project. I am searching for the reasons, me to be shifted to a rule engine like Drools, instead of using hand written once. Drools rules can be debugged that will be a plus point, isn't it? I would love to get a list of benefits that I will be getting. Thanks. -- Best Regards, Nirmal C.S.Nirmal J.
