[rules-users] Using work items in the Eclipse ruleflow editor

[bbking]

I've been attempting to contribute my own work item following the
instructions on this post and the drools flow user guide to no avail.

I'm using Drools 5.0.1 in Eclipse which I added as a plugin using the
software updates.  (checking the plugins folder I only have
org.drools.eclipse_5.0.1 & org.drools.eclipse.task_5.0.1; i'm not sure if
that has anything to do with it)

I've created a new drools project and created the resources directory as a
source directory and created the META-INF directory and put the necessary
files in the directory.  along with an icons package.  

Any insight?
