[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3670) Drools Runtime unclear how to correctly define

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3670?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Jeff DeLong commented on JBIDE-3670: ------------------------------------ So there are potentially three source of a Drools Runtime: 1) Create a new Drools 5 Runtime using the Drools Runtime Wirard "Create a new Drools 5 Runtime button. A minor issue with this is the way the box is organized. It says "Either select an existing Drools Runtime on your file system or create a new one" Then provides text boxes to fill in Name: and Path as well as a button "Create a new Drools 5 Runtime". While the text I quoted is correct, the organization of the UI still leave a bit of doubt as to whether they should fill in the Name: and Path: and then push the Create a new Drools 5 Runtime Button. (as it turns out it does not matter as the wizard assigns the name without regard to what the user types as will require the user to browse to a folder if not supplied. When the use returns from 2) Use the Name: and Path and browse to a downloaded unzipped set of Drools jars. In this case the problem was that some of the jars were in the lib directory, however Kris fixed the wizard to add the lib directory as well. The UI is a bit awkward because it is not clear exactly how the buttons and text fields are used together. So for example, if you fill in the Name: and Path: you don't hit the Create button. The directions in the documentation Kris pointed at are pretty clear, but how would the user have access to this documentation? 3) Browse to a jbrules.esb directory. The issues here is that the MVEL jars are in another .esb folder. Also, unless the user manually replaces them (which may be a requirement with the initial JBoss BRMS release, the jars are for Drools4. So the user would have to organize these jars into some other folder themselves. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
