[rules-users] JBoss Rules IDE 3.1-M1 - Validating all *.xls files in source path?

[Michael Neale]

The rule binary stuff is cached (in memory) so it should be faster then the
older version, but may use more memory. We are looking at a way to keep
binaries in eclipse as "derived artifacts" much like class files are, which
will both keep it fast, and keep the memory down for people with lots of
classes and rules.
