[rules-users] OSGI, classloading, and imports in KnowledgeBuilder

[Mark Proctor]

We'd really like to improve out OSGi friendlyness. From getting Drools 
to work perfectly as an OSGi service, to getting our build system to 
publish all the necessary bundles. But we need people in the commnity to 
help us, you know where to find us if you want to help out, as we have 
so much other core stuff to do :)
