If what you are looking for is to graphically model the execution order of a set of rules, then the best you can do is to go to jBPM5. jBPM5 is a process engine where, among other things, you can have tasks (nodes in the process) activating and deactivating rule-flow-groups (yes, I know, the name is kind of old) in the agenda. The concept of a rule-flow-group is similar to the agenda-group where rules are only executed only if the group where they belong is &#39;active&#39;. Using jBPM5 you can use a &#39;Rule Task&#39; node to automatically activate a particular rule-flow-group.  <br clear="all">

One could control the rule execution order using various different constructs (like salience, etc) within the rule definition file. Is there any UI tool that can take the drl file and visualize the rule execution flow?  Does it help the section of audience who doesn&#39;t understand the concepts like agenda-group? Is jBPM the right tool in such scenario where all I have is bunch of drl files (no Process is involved here). i.e. try to visualize the Rule Execution order.<div>


<br></div><div>This is where I was investigating the use of RuleFlow and later found that jBPM obsoletes it. Then was curious about how ruleflow-group is integrated with jBPM? Unable to find the solution yet.</div><div class="HOEnZb">

    For the 6.0 development cycle we are looking into alternative
    approaches to handling rule execution orchestration. Nothing to show
    yet.<br>
