[rules-users] How to import DRL into Business Rule Assets section?

[Edson Tirelli]

   People,

   Just a heads up, .brl rules are intended to be simpler rules
authored/maintained by business people. While it is a good to have the
ability to edit them with the guided editor, they are limited in what they
can express.

   Just as one example, as of now, they don't support "from" syntax, meaning
you can not use collect/accumulate/entry-point. If you don't use that and a
couple other things, its not problem then.

   I wanted to give this heads up so that people is aware before hand to
avoid waste time in some cases.

   BTW, it is not that we can't change that in the future. It is just how
things are now.
