[rules-users] Classloading error with AspectJ and Drools 5.2.0.Final

[Steven Williams]

Clarification to this - it does also happen when we run our server. So this
is preventing us from upgrading to 5.2

My guess is that getResources should return getParent().getResources()
rather than null.

Steve
