Kris, I updated this JIRA:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-568
Can you take a look, tell me if it makes sense, and if its doable. Probably could be split into 2 if you like (one for DroolsBuilder, one for the GUI). This is critical for BRMS integration, BUT, it is useful even without a BRMS (eg this GUI coudl provide a hook to fire of the ant task to compile the rules into a deployable binary package).
