[rules-users] Debuggin in Eclipse

[Kris Verlaenen]

Is your project a Drools project? You can convert existing projects to 
a Drools projects by right-clicking the project and selecting "Convert 
to Drools Project".  This will add the Drools library (which you can 
remove if you don't need it) and adds a Drools Builder.  This builder 
is crucial as it generates the necessary meta-data used for 
breakpoints.  You should be able to see the drools builder in 
the .project file.  Also make sure that you have not turned off caching 
in the Drools preferences.  The structure of your process should not 
matter, as long as your rules are on the classpath.  You can easily 
check whether the drools builder is working, as it should show errors 
for incorrect syntax in your rule files.
