[rules-users] KieContainer#updateToVersion fails when both versions of a drl file contain an event type declaration for an existing class

[Mark Proctor]

Looks like a bug. Please try on 6.1CR1.
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.drools

If it’s not fixed, and yo want it fixed you’ll need to submit a pull request with a failing unit test:
http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.6.0.Final/droolsjbpm-introduction-docs/html/gettingstarted.html

You can see unit tests for incremental updates here:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools/blob/master/drools-compiler/src/test/java/org/drools/compiler/integrationtests/IncrementalCompilationTest.java

Please try and add your unit test to that class, in the same format as the other tests.
