Hi Drool users, I'm a total noob in drools, so please forgive me if my questions are answered before (By the way I did search the mailing listing but didn't get anything suitable). The Q I have is "Is there a way to specify the encoding for .drl files"???. I'm using drools 5.0.1 and all my drl files are loaded from changeset.xml. The problem I'm facing is that I have some utf-8 chars in my drl files, which are not interpreted correctly while we compile those files. I was wondering whether there was a way to specify the encoding in the changeset.xml itself something like this .... <resource source='classpath:manipulation/abc.drl' type='DRL' encoding='UTF-8' /> Thanks!
