The rule binary stuff is cached (in memory) so it should be faster then the older version, but may use more memory. We are looking at a way to keep binaries in eclipse as "derived artifacts" much like class files are, which will both keep it fast, and keep the memory down for people with lots of classes and rules.

Bree, also check you are throwing enough memory at eclipse - with lots of rules and code, if eclipse doesn&#39;t have enough and the GC has to work overtime, it can really really suck. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

 Michael,<br><br>I actually like the basic concept of validating decision tables, my issue is that we have FIT tests (in Excel) in a separate source folder in our &quot;rules project&quot;. These .xls files are falsely being identified as decision tables with a ton of problems. Validation also seems to take much longer than it does with the 
3.0.x branch (like from 30 seconds in 3.0 to to 5 minutes in 3.1 !?!?). Though the two issues may be related.<br><br>A common way of dealing with this problem in Eclipse is to allow for ant-like &quot;source path include/exclude&quot; patterns. 
<br><br>i.e. exclude test/**/*.xls<br><br>For that matter it would be nice to have the same thing for standard DRL files. The validation of a large rule base can take some time and randomly results in exceptions much of the time. Once I&#39;ve tested and verified a set of rules I could (optionally) exclude them from validation. 
<br><br>I&#39;ll write this all up in the JIRA this evening.<br><br>Thanks again,<br><span><br>Bree</span><div><span><br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael Neale</b>

Hi Bree.<br><br>Well, thats a new thing Kris threw in - cause people were asking for it. It should only validate ones in the rules project itself - I assume that is what you mean? <br><br>If this is a problem for you, could you create a JIRA and state your case? it may be a case of having an optional config dialog to setup where .xls may live and where they dont.
