Re: [rules-dev] Resource getName getDescription

Ok, I thought #droolsdev was ok too. Sorry about that. The idea to have a 'name' and a 'description' attribute in <Resource> elements inside a change-set is to tag them or to add them some human-friendly information so you can refer to it not using the URL or the name of the asset (could be duplicated in different packages), but with a name and a description. These changes are 100% end-users oriented, that is why I put those attributes in API. End users applications (like Guvnor) could take advantages on these new attributes.

So, a change-set now could look like this (the new attributes are not mandatory): <change-set> <add> <resource *name="Loan Rules" description="Rules about loans"* type="DRL" source="http://someHost:1234/someDRLResource.drl"/> <resource *name="Risk Rules" description="Rules about Risk evaluation"* type="DRL" source="http://someHost:1234/someOtherDRLResource.drl"/> </add> </change-set> These attributes can also be used in Spring's configuration: <drools:kbase id="kbase1" node="node1"> <drools:resources> <resource *name="Loan Rules" description="Rules about loans"* type="DRL" source="http://someHost:1234/someDRLResource.drl"/> <resource *name="Risk Rules" description="Rules about Risk evaluation"* type="DRL" source="http://someHost:1234/someOtherDRLResource.drl"/> </drools:resources> </drools:kbase> WDYT?

I think it's time to put a restriction on changes to "-api". Feel free to change core/compiler etc, but if you want to change -api we'll need to propose it here.
