I'm experiencing a most unusual issue: file.isDirectory() is returning a false on 'maven' as in: \work\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\dcwebcv\META-INF\maven KieBuilderImpl.recurseToPomProperties: public static File recurseToPomProperties(File file) { if( file.isDirectory() ) { for ( java.io.File child : file.listFiles() ) { if ( child.isDirectory() ) { File returnedFile = recurseToPomProperties( child ); if ( returnedFile != null ) { return returnedFile; } } else if ( child.getName().endsWith( "pom.properties" ) ) { return child; } } } return null; } I stepped through the code and found file.isDirectory() returning false. I have verified the directory 'maven' has sub-directories following the $groupId/$artifactId convention. The $artifactId directory does contain pom.properties and pom.xml. My environment: Eclipse Kepler SR1 Drools: 6.0.1 Relevant pom.xml <dependency> <groupId>org.kie</groupId> <artifactId>kie-api</artifactId> <version>${kie.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.kie</groupId> <artifactId>kie-internal</artifactId> <version>${kie.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.drools</groupId> <artifactId>drools-core</artifactId> <version>${drools.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.drools</groupId> <artifactId>drools-compiler</artifactId> <version>${drools.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.kie</groupId> <artifactId>kie-spring</artifactId> <version>${kie.version}</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <artifactId>el-api</artifactId> <groupId>javax.el</groupId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> This same exact setup on a colleague's machine works fine, when stepping through the above code file.isDirectory() returned a true on 'maven' and pom.properties was found (recursively). Any pointers will be highly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Unable-to-find-pom-properties-tp4028307...
