[rules-users] Trouble running 4.07 examples

A co-worker is trying to come up to speed on drools 4.07 so I was trying
to get him setup to go through the examples.  The default HelloWorld
program created by the Drools Project wizard works fine, but all of the
examples from the download page show errors.  Here is his config:

Platform is Windows Vista 64-bit. Java JRE 1.6 and JDK installed.

Installed Eclipse Europa 3.3.2.
Installed GEF plugin for matching version through the Eclipse
Install/update method.
Installed Drools 4.0.7 plugin through the Eclipse Install/update method.

Created a new Drools Hello world project.  That built and ran correctly.

Created a new Drools project and imported the drools-4.0.7-examples. 
This resulted in no compile errors for any of the .java files.  However,
there are many, many errors for the .drl files and obviously I can't run
any of the examples.

It seems every 3rd line or so of his drl files are marked with a error
by eclipse - almost like eclipse thinks they should be following java
syntax.  These are not errors from packagebuild, they are eclipse marked
errors.  Here is a sample from the "problems" list.

Thanks for any help
