Hi,

I've decided to build my own Knowledge OSGi bundle to be able to test the latest things of Drools and JBPM. Now I have some puzzle is in my head that I would like someone clarifying me.

Looking at the master branch of the droolsjbpm-parent project, which is in version 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT, I could see this in its POM:

    <!-- Internal dependencies -->
    <drools.version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</drools.version>
    <drools.osgi.version>5.4.0.SNAPSHOT</drools.osgi.version>
    <drools-planner.version>${drools.version}</drools-planner.version>
    <jbpm.version>5.2.0.Final</jbpm.version>
    <jbpm.osgi.version>5.2.0.Final</jbpm.osgi.version>
and at the master branch of the jbpm project, I could see this in its POM:
  <parent>
    <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
    <artifactId>droolsjbpm-parent</artifactId>
    <version>5.3.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <!-- relativePath causes out-of-date problems on hudson slaves -->
    <!--<relativePath>../droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/pom.xml</relativePath>-->
  </parent>

and at the master branch of the drools project, in its POM I could see this:
<parent>
    <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
    <artifactId>droolsjbpm-parent</artifactId>
    <version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <!-- relativePath causes out-of-date problems on hudson slaves -->
    <!--<relativePath>../droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/pom.xml</relativePath>-->
  </parent>

Could someone explain me the choose release cycle and the relationship of the these projects: droolsjbpm-parent, drools, jbpm ?

I think that I read once that JBPM 5 runs on top of Drools and that both has different release cycles, but shouldn't Jbpm SNAPSHOT, once it is a snapshot, always use the latest version of droolsjbpm-parent and consequently the latest of Drools too ?

regards
