Maven integration is not supported by Red Hat in JBoss Enterprise BRMS 5.3.1 and the following is provided as an example only.

Procedure 13.1. Importing the Drools and jBPM Jar Files to the Local Maven Repository

  1. Download the deployable package zip file from the Red Hat Customer Support Portal at https://access.redhat.com. Select Downloads → Download your software → BRMS Platform, then select the version and JBoss BRMS 5.3.1.
  2. Extract the zip archive.
  3. Extract the jboss-brms-engine.zip and jboss-jbpm-engine.zip archives.
  4. Run the following maven commands to import the Drools and jBPM jar files to the local maven repository: 
    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=knowledge-api-5.3.1.BRMS.jar -DgroupId=org.drools -DartifactId=knowledge-api -Dversion=5.3.1.BRMS -Dpackaging=jar

    Note

    The list of imported jar files above is not complete. Make sure you import all drools, knowledge, and jbpm jar files.
A Maven pom.xml file defines project dependencies, which are automatically retrieved when building the project with Maven. The following pom.xml file is an example that shows how to declare dependencies for different use cases: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
