             Summary: Move methods to access kjar resources from Internal-API to public-API
                 Key: DROOLS-616
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-616
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 6.1.0.Final
            Reporter: Matteo Mortari
            Assignee: Mark Proctor
            Priority: Minor


Kindly consider to move methods to access kjar resources from Internal-API to public-API, in order to enable an appropriate way to load a file resource from a kjar "src/main/resources".

h5. Example scenario
Rule authors are placing additional files inside of src/main/resources, something along the lines of readme file, license file, and csv files for additional data parameters not needed by the rule themselves, but still required at runtime to be known by the "host" application.

At runtime the kjar is loaded via "KieContainer from KieRepository" so it's not directly available as a compile-scope maven dependency already inside my runtime-application, and to avoid methods involving manually ClassLoaders/getResource-on-class.

h5. Proposals:
Kindly consider moving at least the following methods:
- getFile() : File
- getFileNames() : Collection<String>
- getResource(String) : Resource

from InternalKieModule to public-API KieModule.
I leave to your expertise to evaluate which others may also be required, depending on the several options for deployments.


Thanks.
Ciao,
MM
