[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-3429) Allow to repeat equivalent type declarations in different DRLs

Allow to repeat equivalent type declarations in different DRLs -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-3429 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3429 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-compiler, drools-core Affects Versions: 5.4.0.Beta2 Reporter: Davide Sottara Assignee: Davide Sottara Priority: Critical Fix For: 5.4.0.Final Two distinct sets of rules might share the need for a common declared type, usually an internal utility fact The building process, however, forbids multiple declarations of the same fact in different DRLs. The quickest solution, removing the declaration from one of the two, might not be feasible when the two files have to be deployed independently as well as together. Externalizing the declarations to a third file might not always be feasible, especially when there is no full control on the DRLs (e.g. generated automatically or acquired from external sources). The builder, then, should recognize equivalent declarations to an existing one and simply ignore them.
