Sorry, I'm not familiar with Maven. For me it looks like as if there would 
be errors in the testcases distributed with the sources.
1. Are you sure that you have downloaded a stable version?
2. Are you sure that you need to build Drools at your own? When you write "I 
just started using Drools" I expect you to be a USER of Drools, so for you 
it should be enough to load one of the ready-to-use distributions of the 
Drools download site. Either the binarys or the Eclipse plugin should 
fulfill your needs.
