Is it a deliberate choice to not include DSL files in the "same package" ? If we are limited to the same folder (or same package), what do you think about supporting inheritance in DSL files ? With this feature we could provide to the community generic translation DSL files for many languages.

Sorry for the new questions ! :D

I'd like to help to develop but I don't want to make useless contributions...

So many questions....

I can comment on the workbench related aspects.

The workbench only includes DSL files for authoring DSLR (or RDSLR) files that are in the same "folder" as the rule. I use the term "folder" as we don't support "same package" (which would imply if the same package existed in different JARs we'd include all DSL files - we do not).

The "expander" keyword is, AFAIK, deprecated. DSL/DSLR expansion depends upon the files being in the same "folder".

@Mario, @Mark, @Edson. Can you comment on whether KIE does handle DSL expansion across different JARs?

Hi,

I was wondering how to use efficiently DSL with my rules and I have several
questions about it :

- First, I have the impression that we can use DSL files only in the same
package of the DSLR file. When I tried to load DSL files by the kmodule.xml
(specifying the different packages in the packages attribute of kbase) it
does not work. Do I have to load each DSL files programmatically or is there
a way to load it automatically by the kmodule.xml (and if it is the case,
how can we handle the parsing order of these files ?) ?

- An underlying question is is this a good practice to divide DSL files ? I
would like to translate all my rules in french and to put the generic
translations in a unique DSL file to reuse it in all of my different DSLR
files.

- I noted that we can use more than one DSL file for one DSLR file (it works
at the runtime) but when it is the case the DRL viewer of the DSL rule
editor does not work and I don't have autocompletion. I tried to put several
expander instructions but it fails. Is there a way to make it work ?

I think DSL stuff is underestimate at this moment by the community and for
my last question I would like to know what is the future plans about this
feature ? Maybe I could help to develop it.

Regards
