[rules-users] Doubts about JBPM and Drools versioning rules...

[Cristiano Gavião]

Hi,

I've decided to build my own Knowledge OSGi bundle to be able to test 
the latest things of Drools and JBPM. Now I have some puzzle is in my 
head that I would like someone clarifying me.

Looking at the master branch of the droolsjbpm-parent project, which is 
in version 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT, I could see this in its POM:

> <!-- Internal dependencies -->
> <drools.version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</drools.version>
> <drools.osgi.version>5.4.0.SNAPSHOT</drools.osgi.version>
> <drools-planner.version>${drools.version}</drools-planner.version>
> <jbpm.version>5.2.0.Final</jbpm.version>
> <jbpm.osgi.version>5.2.0.Final</jbpm.osgi.version>
and at the master branch of the jbpm project, I could see this in its POM:
> <parent>
> <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
> <artifactId>droolsjbpm-parent</artifactId>
> <version>5.3.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
> <!-- relativePath causes out-of-date problems on hudson slaves -->
> <!--<relativePath>../droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/pom.xml</relativePath>-->
> </parent>

and at the master branch of the drools project, in its POM I could see this:
> <parent>
> <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
> <artifactId>droolsjbpm-parent</artifactId>
> <version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
> <!-- relativePath causes out-of-date problems on hudson slaves -->
> <!--<relativePath>../droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/pom.xml</relativePath>-->
> </parent>

Could someone explain me the choose release cycle and the relationship 
of the these projects: droolsjbpm-parent, drools, jbpm ?

I think that I read once that JBPM 5 runs on top of Drools and that both 
has different release cycles, but shouldn't Jbpm SNAPSHOT, once it is a 
snapshot, *always* use the latest version of droolsjbpm-parent and 
consequently the latest of Drools too ?

regards

Cristiano
