thanks for the hint! It's especially interesting that they apparently
managed to deploy core, compiler and JSR94 interface in separate
packages. Have you tried these packages already? I'd assume that one
has to specify "Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: com.springsource.org.drools" or
some equivalent so Drools can find the classes from the bundles that
are using it?
I tried to package Drools in OSGi bundles myself some weeks ago but
stumbled over some class loader issues after dividing the components
into their own bundles.
If SpringSource managed to build working manifest files, it would be
great if the Drools team would incorporate these into the
JAR-distribution.

Best regards
