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

[bbking]

Thanks so much! Following this screencast worked like a charm for me!

My problem was that I had been creating a resources folder under root (which
shows up as "resources" src folder in eclipse) rather than
src/main/resources (which shows up as "src/main/resources" src folder in
eclipse).

Thanks again,

BB
