3.3. Creating a New Rule

To create a new project you can either create an empty text .drl file or utilize the New Rule Package wizard.

To open the wizard select File New Rule Resource or use the menu with the JBoss Drools icon on the toolbar.

On the wizard page, select rules as a top level directory to store your rules and enter a rule name. Next, specify the mandatory rule package name. This defines a namespace that groups rules together.

The wizard then generates a rule skeleton to get you started.
