[rules-dev] declare LocalEvent @role( event ) end

[Edson Tirelli]

   Hi Wolfgang,

   Not sure what is the intent with that?

   Just to explain the design, the compiler differentiates two use
cases: (1) if a declare has no fields in it, it understands the user
is annotating an existing class. (2) If a declare has at least one
field, then the compiler tries to generate a new class and annotate
it.

   In case (1) above, if the compiler does not find an existing class,
it (correctly, IMO) raises an error.

   Can you please clarify?

   Thanks,
       Edson
