[rules-users] Can't use dollar ($) char in Rule Name with Janino compiler

[Mark Proctor]

Bree,

Feel free to log it in JIRA for JBoss Rules, however we cannot fix this 
. You will need to also log a  bug  in the Janino JIRA for it to be 
fixed there. My suggestion is to also prove that this doesn't work with 
a standalone Janino use.
