Michael,

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 "rules project". 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.

A common way of dealing with this problem in Eclipse is to allow for ant-like "source path include/exclude" patterns.

i.e. exclude test/**/*.xls

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've tested and verified a set of rules I could (optionally) exclude them from validation.

I'll write this all up in the JIRA this evening.

Thanks again,

Bree

Hi Bree.

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?

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.

Regards,

Michael.

Hi,

I've started looking at the JBoss Rules 3.1-M1 Eclipse plugin to get an idea of how much migration work I have to look forward to.

The first issue I ran into is that it appears the Drools Builder is validating every Excel (.xls) file I have in my source path. Is this a design decision and if so, how can I "hide" non-decision table .xls files from the Drools builder? I've tried excluding them from the Eclipse Source Path using a "source exclusion rule", but that didn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Bree
