[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-804) Provide "Source Path" with includes/excludes pattern capability for JBoss Rules Eclipse IDE (3.1-M1 currently validates _all_ .xls files in project)

Earl Baugh commented on JBRULES-804:
------------------------------------

When combining JBoss Rules with a Seam project, you end up validating the rules set twice, as you get one copy in the resource directory and one in the deploy directory (or explode directory).   It would greatly speed up processing to be able to exclude the deploy and explode directories from the build.

Perhaps there is a way to do it, but I've not found it on the Drools Preferences...

> The Eclipse "Drools Builder" is validating every Excel (.xls) in my rules project. 
> Apparently this feature was added to 3.1-M1 by Kris. I really like the idea of validating decision tables in Eclipse, my issue is that we have FIT tests (in Excel) in a separate source folder in our "rules project". These .xls files are falsely being identified as decision tables with a ton of problems. Validation also seems to take much longer than it does with the 3.0.x branch (like from 30 seconds in 3.0 to to 5 minutes in 3.1 !?!?). Though the two issues may be related.
> A common way of dealing with this problem in Eclipse is to allow for ant-like "source path include/exclude" patterns.
> i.e. exclude test/**/*.xls
> For that matter it would be nice to have the same thing for standard DRL files. The validation of a large rule base can take some time and randomly results in exceptions much of the time. Once I've tested and verified a set of rules I could (optionally) exclude them from validation.
