Looking to simply give my users definitions of what A rule does and keep that discription as a rule atribute. So when I get the rule name I could also get the definition. As of right now I put a small string in the name and parse it. Example: Rule "myrule:this rule does something" String[] d=rule.getName().split(":",2); what I would really want to use would be. Rule "myrule" Discription "this rule does something" String d = rule.getDiscription(); Wondering if there was something all ready doing this.
