[rules-users] running brl rules - error

Hi, I have {Rule1.drl,Rule2,drl,Rule3.brl} Both the .drl rules run correctly but the .brl does not load and gives me the following error Exception in thread "main" org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: [1,0]: unknown:1:0 mismatched token: [@0,0:0='<',<79>,1:0]; at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Package.java:424) at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(AbstractRuleBase.java:394) at com.org.RuleRunner.loadRules(RuleRunner.java:45) at com.org.RuleRunner.runStatelessRules(RuleRunner.java:79) at com.org.RulesTest.main(RulesTest.java:40) I am loading my rules as follows: private RuleBase loadRules(String[] rules) throws Exception{ PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder(); for ( int i = 0; i < rules.length; i++ ) { String rulesFiles = rules[i]; //Check the type of rule file, then load it System.out.println("loading rule file : "+rulesFiles); loadRuleFile(rulesFiles,builder); } Package pkg = builder.getPackage(); RuleBase localRuleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase(); localRuleBase.addPackage( pkg ); return localRuleBase; } private void loadRuleFile(String rulesFiles,PackageBuilder addRulesToThisPackage ) throws DroolsParserException, IOException{ Reader source = new InputStreamReader( RuleRunner.class.getResourceAsStream(rulesFiles) ); //Load the rules , no DSL addRulesToThisPackage.addPackageFromDrl(source); // is this wrong??? Is there another method that I should be using??? } The above code is where I get the error. Is there some other way to load .brl and .drl files?? We cannot do it together?? I could not find any help on;line on loading and running .brl files. Please help. Thank you.
