[rules-users] Arden Syntax support in Drools / Guvnor?

[Greg Barton]

The first one has a full grammar for parsing Arden syntax, which would be a good starting point for producing an Arden->drools compiler.  Also, you could compile MLMs into java classes using the project as is and use the results of their processing in drools rules.

It might be worth it to get IEEExplore access (I don't have it myself) to read that paper.  The abstract describes translating Arden syntax to CLIPS (another rules based system like drools) so it should be easy to adapt what they did to drools. (You might try contacting the author directly.)
