Sure.

GIT is a version control system and is the repository implementation the workbench has by default. Simply put much like any VCS you can push/commit changes to it.

Whether the changes are made "within" the workbench (as would be the normal case for most users) or whether you have a link to the VCS from another tool; does not matter.

Within Eclipse you should be able to clone the GIT repository (think "take a copy for local use") behind the workbench (using the EGIT plugin). If you use the SSH protocol (e.g. git clone ssh://admin@server/repository) you will be able to push changes made in Eclipse back to the workbench (you could use HTTP, but you won't be able to push changes back).

If this sounds like mumbo-jumbo, please read a bit more about GIT.

With kind regards,

Mike

Hi Manstis,
Thank very much for your reply! Please bear with me if I repeat my self with
my questions.

This is the scenario!
* We are moving away from a custom rule engine to Drools
* We are converting the existing rules to .drl using a parser
* I have an standard eclipse project which I am using to test the rules by
loading bunch of facts (Stateless Session) from the Database. All looking
good.

Now I want to set up the Drools-workbench so that my analysts can take over
and start adding new rules and test them.

I am new to drools/Guvnor/Workbench. But i have mastered the standard .DRL
syntax, have written my own custom operator (Which I am going to share
because its really useful for others too) and the project is working great.
I am really strong with Maven but with Git kind'a newbie.

I have gone thro' the docs and able to create a Project, import my model
jars and related jars. Now I want to import the DRL file from my eclipse
project, set it up and test the individual rules.

I do not really understand your second point!

*2) In order to manipulate a project outside of the workbench (I.e. add your

rule files) you will need to clone it with the ssh protocol. The workbench

will display the url in the Administration perspective. *

Could you please elaborate how do I suck the .drl file from my eclipse
project to the Drools Wrokbench ?

Thanks
Matt'M
