ChangeSet no longer exists. We build jars, we publish jars, we consume jars. Nothing much more to it.

My recommendation is to read the overview:
http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.0.0.Final/drools-docs/html/KIEChapter.html#KIEOverviewSection

Then to go through the build/deploy/utilize set of exemples and corresponding tutorial.
http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.0.0.Final/drools-docs/html/KIEChapter.html#KIEExamplesSection

It’s a change from 5.x. but once people get the hang of it, they’ll find it simpler and more streamlined.

Packages do not exist as a deployable component. There is the source, contained in GIT. There is a JAR published via maven.

GIT is just source, the drl etc. Just use standard GIT commands to check it out. You don’t need to marshal it, it’s just source.

The JAR is just a jar, that’s published by maven. The local m2_repo is exposed via http url, making it a remotely accessible maven repository. Download the jar, unzip it inspect the contents.

All source is in GIT, it’s not encoded or anything special. All languages have bindings for GIT access.
