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

[Kris Verlaenen]

I suppose you are seeing the Email and Log work item again but not your own?

That's basically the only name you shouldn't be using ;)  The reason is
that drools-core already contains a WorkDefinitions.conf file which is
used by default and contains the Email and log work items (and has
precendence over the user-specified one in the IDE).

Kris

PS: using a "resources" source folder instead of "src/main/resources"
should also work (as long as it's a Java source folder, not just a
regular folder in the project).
