Cannot use imported classes in declared types fields initialization ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-83 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-83 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Mario Fusco Assignee: Mario Fusco Fix For: 5.6, 6.0.0.Alpha1 Having added the following import statements in the drl: import org.drools.compiler.test.Person import org.drools.compiler.test.Man this field initialization in a declared type in the same drl doesn't compile: persons: Person[] = new Person[] { new Man() } As a workaround, note that adding the full class names fixes the problem: persons: Person[] = new org.drools.compiler.test.Person[] { new org.drools.compiler.test.Man() }
