i have the JAR in classpath. i also added the java domain project in the "project references". but when i create a "guided rule", in the when condition of "guidedl rule" - it gives me a 'choose fact model' dropdown which is empty. i read somewhere that i need to specify all globals or imports. But i wanst able to figure that out exactly. looking forward to some more help :).

Should suffice to add the fact model jar to the classpath of the project containing your rules source code. That's how we did it when still working with Eclipse (now switched to IDEA). If you don't want to compile the jar beforehand, on the rules project's root folder, right-click "build path" -> "configure build path", select "Projects" tab, click "Add", check your fact model project and confirm everything.

Ansgar, If you are constructing a guided rule, you should define your imports etc. in a separate file, called drools.package in the same directory. When you used the wizard to create the guided rule, it should be there already. Add your imports there. If you then open the guided editor, the dropdown should contain the imported classes for you to use.
