[windup-dev] Choose between xml, groovy or java based rules

[Ondrej Zizka]

Hi,

I'll try to sum up, someone may add or correct.

Groovy: That was an experiment, currently not finished AFAIK.

XML:
Pros: Should be easy and shorter, no need for recompilation, picked up 
automatically from a known paths.
Cons: Only supports a subset of conditions and operations (simplier 
ones); does not allow direct custom graph data manipulation.

Java:
Pros: Allows pretty much anything; easier debugging; IDE code completion 
for Windup API;
Cons: Needs to be an full Forge addon (if not added to Windup core 
codebase); needs more code (some of it boilerplate);
          A bit more complex - author needs to know more of Windup 
internals.

HTH,
Ondra
