JBoss Drools

I've spent the last week immersing myself in JBoss Drools.
Superficially it's a lot like ILOG (now IBM) JRules, but
Drools has more of a sparse, lightweight feel with every
feature well thought out and well integrated.
By comparison ILOG was like this mountain of opaque
and inaccessible software.
Another advantage of Drools is it's opening doors
to other open source tools like Maven, GWT and
AppFuse, and of course all the other JBoss stuff.
I've also learned a few things about Eclipse I didn't know.
ILOG helped a little in this regard getting me
started with JSF but other than that it didn't really
take me anywhere.
