6.2. Setting the Drools runtime

In order to use the JBoss BRMS plug-in with Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, it is necessary to set up the runtime.
A runtime is a collection of jar files that represent a specific release of the software and provides libraries needed for compilation and running of your business assets.
Extract the runtime jar files located in the jboss-brms-engine.zip archive of the JBoss BRMS Generic Deployable zip archive (not the EAP6 deployable zip archive) (available from Red Hat Customer Portal).

Procedure 6.2. Configure BRMS Runtime

  1. From the JBoss Developer Studio menu, select Window and click Preferences.
  2. Select DroolsInstalled Drools Runtimes.
  3. Click Add...; provide a name for the new runtime, and click Browse to navigate to the directory where the runtime is located. Click OK to register the selected runtime in JBDS.
  4. Mark the runtime you have created as the default Drools runtime by clicking on the check box next to it.
  5. Click OK. If you have existing projects, a dialog box will indicate that you have to restart JBoss Developer Studio to update the Runtime.
