My apologies, I should have looked a little deeper. The Guvnor Event Log showed I was missing a class in my POJO Model JAR; I fixed that and now everything is working fine.

Hi all,

Using Guvnor 5.1, I'm unable to open assets and get this message:

"* Unable to validate package configuration (eg, DSLs, models) for [CA.FH.BETACAU]. Suggestion completions may not operate correctly for graphical editors for this package.
* Unable to get content assistance for this rule."

I've searched around and it seemed like it might be related to

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BRMS-425

so I gave the user admin, package.admin and package.developer permission for everything, but it still pops up the same error. Is there any workaround/explanation/quick fix for this behavior?
