Michael Neale commented on JBRULES-434:
---------------------------------------

hmmm yes... I assume this still applied to 3.0.4? 

I think it is easy to fix, but don't really want to do it for 3.0.x branch, just to trunk.

> Section 4.1.4.1 of the JBoss Rules documentation states:
> The "$para" place holder is used in templates to indicate where data form the cell will be interpolated. You can also use "$1" to the same effect. If the cell contains a comma seperated list of values, $1 and $2 etc. may be used to indicate which positional parameter from the list of values in the cell will be used.
> As the German decimal separator is ',' and not '.' as in the English locale, no list of this form can be entered on a German computer system if there are e.g. only two values and they happen to be integers. E.g. if you try to create the list containing the two values 10 and 20, according to the documentation you must enter '10,20'. This will be interpreted as 10.20 by a German computer and result in a single decimal value instead of a list of two integers.
> The separator ',' is hardcoded somewhere (in SnippedBuilder (?) I think). Maybe this can be made configurable. E.g. a "Configuration" section in the Excel spreadsheet would do.
