[protege-discussion] [POSSIBLE VIRUS:###] Problem with protege, jesstab and distributed computing with JADE

[Samson Tu]

You should contact the jesstab developer directly to resolve this 
problem. I don't think he monitors this mailing list.

Meanwhile, a possible workaround is to avoid using JessTab convenience 
functions. You can write your own instance-existp using pure Java/Jess, 
for example.
