I tried to install a fresh copy of Drools, and what I have done is:
1. checked out everything from
http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/trunk using Subversion.
2. cd $DROOLS_HOME
3. mvn clean
4.mvn -Declipse -Ddocumentation clean
install -DlocalEclipseDrop=/folder/jboss-rules/local-eclipse-drop-mirror
But I got a lot of error from step 4. as
====
.... (A lot of outputs that I chopped)
Tests run: 121, Failures: 0, Errors: 91, Skipped: 0
[INFO] There are test failures.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Maven. For me it looks like as if there would
be errors in the testcases distributed with the sources.
1. Are you sure that you have downloaded a stable version?
2. Are you sure that you need to build Drools at your own? When you write "I
just started using Drools" I expect you to be a USER of Drools, so for you
it should be enough to load one of the ready-to-use distributions of the
Drools download site. Either the binarys or the Eclipse plugin should
fulfill your needs.
