Hi all

Thanks again. Based on the feedback from this list and own investigation I
tracked down my issues with using Excel Decision Tables Via Eclipse.

It seems to be in fact a Drools tooling issue, namely related to the Drools
Builder Component

This tool is on the one hand very convenient to do interactive debugging of
a decision table (initial development, before end users fill it the single
lines of the sheet), since you get direct feedback on errors in the Project
Build and even can jump into the excel sheet at the right place.

On the other hand, it has the bug I mentioned: It opens the file but does
not close it, so that a subsequent edit of the file in Excel only gets a
read-only copy.
If I turn it off, the error disappears (but no compilation happens), if I
turn it on it is there back again.

It seems to be a bug in the drools builder, but I do not know whether I can
create an issue there.

Regards,

Andreas
