Anyone Using Jboss Drools ?

Question

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

Anyone using JBOSS drools for Bioinformatics ? I saw this ref and I know a friend using it to validate some excel sheets.

I had a look at the doc but it is off-putting. But is there here anybody using it ? How, why, when do you use it ? Can you create a scientific workflow just like Taverna with this library ?

Thanks !

I think JBoss itself looks sufficiently scary that only the most intrepid amongst us dares to install it.

Well, this library looks scary. Something like JBoss Hibernate has been widely adopted.
