Provide "Source Path" with includes/excludes pattern capability for JBoss Rules Eclipse IDE (3.1-M1 currently validates _all_ .xls files in project) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-804 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-804 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Eclipse IDE Affects Versions: 3.1-m1 Environment: WinXP, Sun JRE 1.4.2_12 Reporter: Bree VanOss Assigned To: Mark Proctor Priority: Minor The Eclipse "Drools Builder" is validating every Excel (.xls) in my rules project. Apparently this feature was added to 3.1-M1 by Kris. I really like the idea of validating decision tables in Eclipse, my issue is that we have FIT tests (in Excel) in a separate source folder in our "rules project". 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 !?!?). Though the two issues may be related. A common way of dealing with this problem in Eclipse is to allow for ant-like "source path include/exclude" patterns. i.e. exclude test/**/*.xls For that matter it would be nice to have the same thing for standard DRL files. 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
