Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-1406:
---------------------------------------

This is a bug with Eclipse when using JDK1.4 where it's not letting us override the language settings. It seems there is nothing we can do to  fix this, please let us know if this continues in trunk where only jdk1.5+ is supported.

> When I try to include functions in any .drl file, I get syntax errors.  For example, the following simple .drl file can be referenced:
> #created on: Jan 4, 2008
> package test
> #list any import classes here.
> import java.util.Collection;
> function void yourFunction(String arg) {
> 	/* code goes here*/
> }
> rule "Your First Rule"
> 	
> 	when
> 		#conditions
> 	then 
> 		#actions
> 		
> end
> rule "Your Second Rule"
> 	#include attributes such as "salience" here...
> 	when
> 		#conditions
> 	then 
> 		#actions
> 		
> end
> For this .drl file, I get the following errors highlighted on each rule in the IDE:
> The import test.YourFunction.yourFunction cannot be resolved
> Syntax error, static imports are only available if source level is 5.0
> When I remove the function, these errors go away.  I have developed .drl files much more complex than this in the past and have incorporated functions using the same syntax.  I can't figure out what is wrong after scouring the forums and searching for anyone who has experienced the same thing.
