Actually the systems mentioned are on EE5 level, JRules might be a bit
behind, pretty much where ILOG left it.
And from what JSR 331 Spec Lead Jacob Feldman heard, there doesn't seem to
be much going on there, it sounded to him as if IBM wanted to donate large
portions to Open Source.
Maybe that way using not only JSRs like 331 some of these components
behaved better, too;-)
It won't help much if you have a great container, but older or badly
written apps don't behave accordingly.
Sure, if a minimal profile had no JSF or JPA, each app could bring its own,
but at the price of giant archives and no reusability of common frameworks.
