> The problem is with the "Drools Runtime". As part of the setup for creating a Drools Project for the first time, the user is asked to create a "Drools Runtime". This is new (in the past Drools IDE new which set of jars to use),
No it didn't - it just had some random copy from inside the drools 
plugin which would not necessarily match the server it is running on.

You can either find the jars in JBDS plugins, explode them into a folder, and point to them, or download  Drools engine/expert (in this case I had decided to try jboss-brms-engine-5.ea.zip, since this is the .com version). However when this is unzipped, some jars are in the root of the folder and some are in a lib directory. At least four of the ones in the lib directory are required for runtime (antlr-runtime-3.1.1.jar, core-3.4.2.v_883_R34x.jar, mvel2-2.0.5.jar, xstream-1.3.1.jar), and the jars in a subdirectory are not added to the runtime classpath. I knew this but forgot to move antlr-runtime-3.1.1.ja!

Yes, the big problem is that there seem to be no way for us to define a 
drools runtime based on SOA-P. That is the last I heard about it from 
Kris V.

If someone from SOA-P can tell us which jar's users should use to define 
the jars then we could automatically include those in the runtime.

I also need to follow up with the drools functionality since it should 
not be a *requirement* to have the drools runtime on a project; it 
should just be in the classpath.

Smooks Transformer Action should really be Smooks Action and the class should be org.jboss.soa.esb.smooks.SmooksAction. Also there are additional properties that could be configured (e.g., resultType and javaResultBeanId) and the From Type and To Type under Advanced are out-of-date as well. How can we know which are the correct ones ?
