Adding DROOLS/JBoss Rules to classpathCurrently, a JBoss Rules project is just a Java project with two additional characteristics: * The JBoss Rules classpath container is added to the classpath of the project * A JBoss Rules builder automatically checks all rules for possible errors In the current version of the IDE (3.0.5) you can only convert existing projects to JBoss rules projects by manually altering the .project and .classpath files as described in the documentation. The latest version in trunk already contains a shortcut where you can right-click the .project file and select the "Convert to JBoss Rules Project" action. I will see whether it is possible to add the JBoss Rules classpath container to the list of libraries that can be added.

I'm having some trouble adding the JBoss Rules custom classpath container to an existing project in Eclipse. I can do it by adding the following line to the project's .classpath file: <classpathentry kind="con" path="DROOLS/JBoss Rules"/> Is there another/better way to do this? I would expect to be able to do it somewhere in Build Path --> Add Libraries., but I have had no luck.

Yes, the drools jars do not contain any source by default (to limit the size of the jars). There are two ways to use the source of these classes though: * When you are trying to debug an application in eclipse, and you open the debug dialog (right click your Java main class, select Debug As -> Debug ...), there is a tab there you can use to add sources. If you download the sources from svn and import these as Java projects in eclipse, you can just add those projects to the source lookup path. I added a screenshot to help you out with that. * If you add the sources to the drools jars directly (in the same dir as the corresponding class files, so not in a separate src dir or something like that), those sources will be found automatically as well. So rebuilding those jars and adding the sources should do the trick for all your projects at once.

Do you know how we can attach the source? thanks Steve On 2/7/07, Kris Verlaenen <kris.verlaenen(a)cs.kuleuven.be&gt; wrote: Currently, a JBoss Rules project is just a Java project with two additional characteristics: * The JBoss Rules classpath container is added to the classpath of the project * A JBoss Rules builder automatically checks all rules for possible errors In the current version of the IDE (3.0.5) you can only convert existing projects to JBoss rules projects by manually altering the .project and .classpath files as described in the documentation.
