I solved this problem, though not sure the exact cause. In Eclipse, I
had created a project in which I wrapped the Drools jar files,
exported the plugin, etc. However, I left the project in my
workspace. This apparently interfered with the Drools eclipse tools.
When I deleted the wrapper project from my workspace, the eclipse
tools for drools work fine.
