Hi Mark,

Drools 5 seems to be a really great product. Maybe 18 months ago I 
evaluated rules engines and business process engines and made my 
decision to use jbpm together with Drools.

Now - in 3 weeks or so its time to really integrate processes and rules 
into my application (ERP solution for small and medium-sized-companies) 
- my server is ready (OSGI - EJB3) and my UI (Eclipse Riena based). Core 
parts of the OSGI client-server app will be Open Source.

Last months I always noticed the problem for business people to 
understand the differences between business processes and rules, because 
from the point-of-view of business use-cases they are integrated. why 
are there two tools / frameworks to manage the same thing ?

For me the main reason to use both was persistence of long running 
processes and manual tasks in the past only available in business 
process engine.

Now I read the documentation of Drools 5 and noticed that all is 
availabe in ONE product: Drools 5. Thats really great news - I hope I 
understood all well and I'll give it a try to do it with Drools only. 
This gives me a better feeling than my previous decision.

Thanks for all your work.
