We decided to develop pojo generated beans as a priority over fact 
templates. the main reason for this is they "just work". FactTemplates 
were requiring a lot of work to be done the parser for them to be 
seamlessly integrated.

We've done a lot of work on the parser that may make FactTemplates 
practical again, but it's a low priority work. The only reason I can 
think to even persue them is for dynamic type systems in environments 
that don't allow runtime bytecode generation.
