This is always related to classpath problems. Make sure you have all dependencies set in your classpath and if that does not work, maybe make an example project with the error available somewhere that another person can take a look at it. (don't think you can send zip attachements to the list, but not sure).

   Eclipse-plugin embeds a series of dependency jars that are transparently added to the classpath. That is the major reason you may see the problem outside of eclipse, but not inside. Classloader configuration is also another reason.

Hi all,

I have a perfectly running Eclipse 3.3 with DRools 4.0.4 and JDK 1.5.14.
The rules are compiled with a post build Ant task which uses Janino (need it for Tomcat compatibility).
Now OUTSIDE Eclipse it seems I cannot use that Ant task to save my life :(
I tried switching from Janino to the default compiler, same thing. I always get this infamous error:

 BUILD FAILED
 E:\buildRules-hudson.xml:30: RuleBaseTask failed: Unable to load dialect

       DroolsCompilerAntTaskStandalone.java:257)
       at com.my.app.rules.DroolsCompilerAntTaskStandalone.execute(
       DroolsCompilerAntTaskStandalone.java:136)

That "DroolsCompilerAntTaskStandalone" is my task using the default compiler like this:
   PackageBuilderConfiguration conf = new PackageBuilderConfiguration();
   conf.setClassLoader( loader );
   PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder( conf );

If I use Janino like below the error is exactly the same...
   PackageBuilderConfiguration pkgBuilderCfg = new
   PackageBuilderConfiguration();
   pkgBuilderCfg.setClassLoader( loader );
   JavaDialectConfiguration javaConf = (JavaDialectConfiguration)
   pkgBuilderCfg.getDialectConfiguration( "java" );
   javaConf.setCompiler( JavaDialectConfiguration.JANINO );
   PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder( pkgBuilderCfg );

Again, in Eclipse all is working fine. I checked Ant's classpath, here it is:
 E:\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin\..\lib\ant-launcher.jar
 E:\apache-ant-1.7.0\lib\*.jar
 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\lib\tools.jar

Here is how I provide a classpath:
       <taskdef name="rulescompiler" classname="com.my.app.rules.
       DroolsCompilerAntTaskStandalone" classpathref="droolsutils.classpath" />

       <target depends="newfilesarethere" name="build" unless="rulesCompile.
       notRequired">
               <rulescompiler srcdir="${THIS_PROJ}/src/com/my/app/rules"
                              tofile="${THIS_PROJ}/build/classes/com/my/app/rules/
                              packaged.rules"
                              classpathref="droolsutils.classpath" >
                   <include name="*.drl" />
               </rulescompiler>
       </target>

The classpath I provide contains pretty much all libraries I use normally in the project, but I tried even to add ALL jar's from the Eclipse 3.3 install directory (that would include all DRools 4.0.4 libraries, with antlr and whatnot)

I tried also with DRools 4.0.7, same behaviour...

What does that mean and where is it coming from? Could it have issues with the tools.jar from Java 1.5.0_14?

Thank you for any input,
M
