The drools planner zip has a runExamples.sh, but it doesn't include 
source code.
The drools sources zip has the planner source code and all the other 
drools source code (like SVN) but you need to build drools itself before 
building the examples.

What would make it easier?

1)  A zip with only the examples (no drools or drools planner code) that 
has a pom which has the jboss repository already included? So it's just 
a matter of opening the pom.xml?
Or even better, include eclipse, intellij and netbeans files too?

2) Or would a maven archetype be even better? The problem with maven 
archetypes is it's maintance: it's get forgotten and in the end the 
archetype becomes stale.

I won't go for option 2) any time soon, but I wonder if we can somehow 
configure the assembly plugin to do 1) and if there is intrest in such a 
download.

With kind regards,
