These .xls files are falsely being identified as decision tables with a ton of problems. Validation also seems to take much longer than it does with the 3.0.x branch (like from 30 seconds in 3.0 to to 5 minutes in 3.1 !?!?).

The validation of a large rule base can take some time and randomly results in exceptions much of the time. Once I've tested and verified a set of rules I could (optionally) exclude them from validation. <BR><BR>I'll write this all up in the JIRA this evening.<BR><BR>Thanks again,<BR><SPAN class="sg"><BR>Bree</SPAN><DIV><SPAN class="e" id="q_111ffab6f51b0762_2"><BR><BR><BR><BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 4/17/07, <B class="gmail_sendername">Michael Neale</B> <<A href="mailto:michael.neale@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> michael.neale@gmail.com</A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Bree.<BR><BR>Well, thats a new thing Kris threw in - cause people were asking for it.
