[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-2243) Add support to source code assets to reference each other

Add support to source code assets to reference each other --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2243 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2243 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-api, drools-compiler, drools-core, drools-eclipse Affects Versions: 5.0.0.FINAL, 5.0.1.FINAL Reporter: Edson Tirelli Assignee: Edson Tirelli Fix For: 5.5.0.CR1 One asset defined in one DRL should be usable from other DRLs. So we need a way to import them from one file into another, in a similar way as #includes works in C++ or "import" in java, etc. So, if I declare a type in DRL1.drl: declare XYZ ... end I can then use it in rules in DRL2.drl: uses "DRL1.drl" rule "ABC" when XYZ(...) then end Same for any other assets like functions. This feature will require proper dependency management to avoid circular dependencies, classloader issues, etc. Also, the IDE will require update to be able to properly reflect these situations without raising false errors.
