Comments (!) in certain places flagged as errors, dialect "mvel"

A bracketed comment (/* - */) is flagged as an error when it appears

• in a cast after the type name (/X/)
• immediately after a class name after new (/Y/)

Rather wild error messages which don't help at all are emitted, see below.

import java.util.HashMap;

declare Student
name : String @key
gradeMap : HashMap
end

rule KickOff
dialect "mvel"
when
then
long l = (long /X/)0;
Student s = new Student/Y/( "Joe" );
s.gradeMap = new HashMap/Y/();
insert( s );
end

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Sample error message:

Unable to Analyse Expression Student s = new Student/Y/( "Joe" );
s.gradeMap = new HashMap();
drools.insert( s );:
