I actually wrote my own compiler task, for reasons of playing with the  class 
loader and pre-merging all files - performance-increasing tricks  which with 
5.1.1 don't bring anything anymore. So yes, the Drools own Ant task is today 
just as good.

I'm using only DRL files (technical, like your rule packages) and they are  
indeed grouped by naming conventions. I don't find this way particularly  great 
and I think I should allocate some time to rethink it...
