<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rule names should be unique within their package,
ruleflow group names are interpreted globally (so ruleflow groups with the same
name in different packages are considered the same).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Multiple packages can be loaded into the same
knowledge base. Assuming you will be using Drools5, it should look
something like this:</FONT></DIV>
