NPE when used Event types + rules with sliding window + package compiled by BRM

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Packages compiled by BRM (Guvnor) ignore Event types, so if a rule uses sliding window a NPE is throwed:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooFactHandleFactory.newFactHandle(ReteooFactHandleFactory.java:56)
at org.drools.common.AbstractFactHandleFactory.newFactHandle(AbstractFactHandleFactory.java:80)

at john.DroolsError.runRules(DroolsError.java:48)
at john.DroolsError.main(DroolsError.java:40) 

This does not happen if used KnowledgeBuilder and a regular drl file instead of KnowledgeAgent + package binaries.
