Ahh ok, I faced the same problem sometime I ago when I tried to use it in a project and realize that it was really hard to do anything maven-related with it!<br><br>It has improved a lot and I haven't looked at it since 1,5 years, at least. So, maybe it's better now.<br>
<br>Anyway, it's as you said.. lot's of more important things. It passed through my mind, because I'm really spending time with all the nodeTestCases that I'm breaking these days :)<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I did prototyped a Rete DSL editor with Xtext when I was developing<br>
the grammar for this. The reason in the end for me to drop it is that<br>
we need the parser running in core to execute the tests quickly during<br>
build and the parser generated by XText requires the addition of<br>
several dependencies (due to the instrumentation it does) that we<br>
don't want in core.<br>
<br>
Since it is something that is of use for basically 3 people in the<br>
whole world (me, you and mark)... :) I did not wanted to spend more<br>
time figuring a way to either allow the parser to be "cleaned up"<br>
somehow for inclusion in core without the dependencies or a way to<br>
make a separate module that would be responsible for testing Rete.<br>
<br>
Of course, if someone wants to step up and do it, we would not<br>
oppose, but there are lots of other priorities in our plates<br>
already... :(<br>
