Hi Vincent,

Yes, but that looks like a very very limited version of the literal value.
I really don't see any benefit in the predicate, other than being a shortcut for
choosing a field literal value = true or false... am I missing something here?

We ended indeed adding a "fake" method to the POJO, and I hate it :)

Yes, and nothing happens as there's no resource file around. All these JIRAs say
nothing about WHERE in the directory structure the resource file shall be
placed... and based on Michael's answer this won't be a trivial endeavor
(recompiling the app for a language switch?? sorry, I can't call this real i8n.)

Uh oh. This was the missing link, thanks a lot!

I see, I understand now.
Well, unless one can upload a Java _source_ file or link it somehow, just seeing
the files still doesn't bring much except some comfort "look here they are".

Well, at least we know where we stand. Editing them in both places didn't make
much sense anyway. I'm fine with editing business rules in Guvnor, if I only
could edit/link the model classes and technical rules in Eclipse...

No no thank you :)

I create a new rule flow in _Guvnor_. I land on the "upload resource" tab. The
RF is created but it's obviously empty. I do nothing there but immediately
switch to Eclipse, refresh Guvnor repo view, click on the freshly created RF,
bang.
Many thanks,
