[rules-users] Declaring events separately from rules breaks expires

[Samuli Saarinen]

Hi Edson,

I dig this a little deeper and found out that event declaration in 
separate file works correctly if file declaring the event and file 
containing a rule using the event have the same package. Is there a 
reason it should work only within the same package or should I open a JIRA?

Cheers,
Samuli
