[rules-users] OSGi version of Drools

[Flavius Vespasianus]

Hello,

is there anywhere a OSGi bundle with Drools 4.0.7? I know about 
com.springsource.org.drools.* but these had a lot of additional 
dependencies and I wasn't able to get them work.

My problem is that I need to have three projects: one is the basic 
library which uses Drools very intensively. The second project is editor 
- an Eclipse plugin (that's why I need the OSGi bundle) using some 
classes from the basic library. It doesn't use Drools, but there is a 
dependency. The third project is classic Java application, also using 
the basic library.
The basic library was originally created using standard Drools project 
wizard (I have downloaded the Eclipse Drools plugin - 
org.drools.eclipse). But when I tried to deploy it as an Eclipse plugin, 
it couldn't find the Drools classes.

I found a little workaround - I have compiled the binaries (drools-core, 
drools-compiler and from libs the mvel, antlr3 and eclipse-jdt-core) 
into separate plugin using "Create a plugin from existing jars" wizard.
But if I add this dependency to the basic library, I get a 
NullPointerException error on every dslr file and I cannot run the 
application properly). At least the second project (editor) can be compiled.

What am I doing wrong? Or can I find somewhere the binaries compiled 
correctly into OSGi bundle?

Thanks a lot!

Flavius
