Hi all,
I am trying out Drools with JBoss Tooling in Eclipse. Actually, much of it does not work
for me, but since there were not many complaints about that, I think it must be due to my
missing experience. But now I have a couple of things that seem like bugs to me. (BTW, I
mainly use Eclipse 3.7, but I also installed 3.6 to see whether anything is better with
that - which generally it isn't. I upgraded Jboss tools to one of the newest nightly
builds which I do not like, but only that solved the issue that the rules language
dialects could not be found. I am using drools 5.2.0)
I gave up on the Audit trail which always said "The selected audit log is
empty..." (but it isn't and this should have been resolved two years ago
according to some mails, but I simply avoid using that view).
What bothers me most is that the Excel Plugin shows really erratic behavior in my Eclipse
(both versions of eclipse). It opens the Excel file once (I converted to Excel 2003
(*.xls) from my newer version), but on the second time it says "Cannot create the
in-place editor Reason: This is probably because there is no OLE editor registered against
the type of file you were trying to access" Details say: File does not exist, is not
accessible to user or does not have the correct format. result=-2147287008.) Sometimes
later on it will work again, sometimes it won't and Excel complains about another
Application needing to complete its OLE requests (until I shut it down using task manager
since there is no alternative since it does not accept any input anymore). Sometimes even
saving changes fails, leaving a corrupt file. Is that common behavior that others
experience as well or is it just a local configuration issue? (Usually, I have no issues
with my installation and I am not aware of configuring anything apart from using the
Eclipse update sites.)
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Andreas
