[rules-dev] refactoring drools

[Franz Schwab]

Hi,

I forgot to post the links I already found:
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/RefactoringRules

But this is very Eclipse-specific. The problem is:
How do you change the design of a big rule based system if the demands 
to it changed? Which common practices do exist?
What do you do with code smells, e.g. duplicate rules.
The answers to the rest of your questions:

Lets say a rule "based system" instead of "knowledge base" in the terms 
of drools.
