[jbosstools-dev] Create a new Drools 5 Runtime programmatically

[Vlado Pakan]

Hi Kris,

It's not working as I need. Runtime is added to Drools preferences but 
is not created. I need to accomplish exactly the same situation as when 
user choose button Create a new Drools 5 Runtime.

It has to create new Drools Runtime and copy all needed jar files to 
specified location and make this Drools runtime possible to use as 
runtime for newly created Drools project.

I don't install any additional Drools runtime.

Can you help me with this please?

Thanks, Vlado.
