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

[Jess Sightler]

I don't expect that the XML rules will ever be as powerful as the Java 
rules. I think that making them that powerful would actually make them 
more complicated to use than the Java rules.

Having said that, if there are common cases that are requiring Java, we 
would like to know that. We would like as many rules as possible to be 
easy to write in the XML format.
