I'm in the progress of updating from Drools 5.1 to 5.2 in the hope of solving problems
we are having with intermittent mysteriously missing activations.
I've found a regression with the compiler which I don't know whether anybody else
has noticed before.
In our application we've got two Content classes in different packages, and
unfortunately one of our rule files has to reason over both of them.
In drools 5.1 this was fine, we imported one of them and then used the fully qualified
name for the other.
I'm just upgrading to 5.2.0-Final and this no longer works. When resolving the
unqualified class name drools/mvel(?) was choosing the package that we hadn't
imported!
This obviously then gave us loads of misleading error messages about not being able to
find fields.
Fully quallifiying all references to both classes fixed the issue but something obviously
isn't behaving properly.
