Support for multiple Drools Runtimes
------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-1833
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1833
             Project: JBoss Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: drools-eclipse
            Reporter: Kris Verlaenen
            Assignee: Kris Verlaenen
             Fix For: 5.0.0.M3

The current Drools plugin has only one notion of runtime: the one used internally in the drools plugin it self.
This has several usability issues:
1) In a team project it will not necessarily be the same jars developers will be using if they have different versions of the plugin installed
2) It is a problem if you have projects with different versions of Drools - there are only one "allowed" in the eyes of the drools plugin
3) the classpath container added will expose .org jars which is bad if the user is meant to use the EAP/SOA-P certified jars
If Drools is going into JBDS 2/JBossTools 3 we need to change this so we don't force users to live on the bleeding edge.
My suggestion is:
1) No longer *ever* expose the internal drools.jars to users projects
2) Add the notion of Drools runtimes which has version and list of jars defined similar to Java Runtimes in Eclipse JDT.
