[rules-users] Running Drools 4 examples
Greetings!
I am attempting to run the HelloWorld example for Drools 4. I have Eclipse 3.3 setup on
Windows with the Drools plugin. I have created a project with the Drools examples and
added all the Drools .jar files to the project. Everything compiles. When I initially
ran HelloWorldExample.java it appeared that it could not find the HelloWorld.drl file.
So, I moved that file into the same directory as HelloWorldExample.java and ran again.
This time I am getting an error that the JDT compiler is not found even though it appears
that there are JDT jar files in the Eclipse plugins.
I also attempted to run this example under Linux from the command line. In this case I
placed all the Drools .jar files into the JRE ext folder and changed the source code to
use the Janino compiler by adding:
// Set up for the Janino compiler, not Eclipse
System.setProperty("drools.dialect.java.compiler", "JANINO");
PackageBuilderConfiguration cfg = new PackageBuilderConfiguration();
JavaDialectConfiguration javaConf =
(JavaDialectConfiguration)cfg.getDialectConfiguration("java");
This version compiles with javac and runs with java -cp . HelloWorldExample but gives me
an error within the compiler while compiling the .drl file:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String
index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1938)

at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl(PackageBuilder.java:167)
at HelloWorldExample.main(HelloWorldExample.java:39)
It is dying on this line:
builder.addPackageFromDrl( source );
My version of HelloWorldExample.java the same as the given example except for the addition
of the lines above for Janino. My ultimate goal is to run this all under Linux, I am not
an Eclipse user.
Any help getting this working would be greatly appreciated!
