[rules-users] Problems with Guided Rule Editor in Eclipse

[John Peterson]

Thanks for the response, Vincent.  Do you happen to have a link to the URL for the JIRA?  I was looking for it, but haven't found it yet.

It would seem to me that this is basic functionality.  It sounds, from your response, that BRL is just not the focus.
