[rules-users] Recommended way to register custom ResourceTypeBuilder?

[helo]

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering already why I couldn't find any
information on this.

I stumbled upon this when I was trying to understand how resources are added
to the KnowledgeBase and it was easy enough to implement my own
ResourceTypeBuilder.

Since what I'm doing right now is highly experimental anyways I'm not too
concerned about using internal stuff. Since it works the way I intended it
to right now it's fine for now, maybe I'll think of something more elegant
later on.

Cheers
Henning
