Please note that rolling back a dependency like Drools has a ripple effect
into seam-gen. The deployed-jars*.list files must be updated (if the
artifact name changes, as was the case with Drools 5 and MVEL), the IDE
project files must be updated, and the Ivy dependencies file must be
updated. Yes, it sucks, which is why we have seam-gen encore in the
works...but I'm just saying that you have to let me know excactly when you
are changing it so that I can react.

Marek, can you roll back the Drools 5 upgrade in trunk for now? We'll
branch after in the release for 2.1/2.2.
Thanks!
