Description of problem: The Drools XML language "...has not been developed since drools 4.0, and is considered a deprecated feature." However, the docs for 5.x versions of Drools clearly state, "All the features are available with XML that are available to DRL." As such,the docs need to be updated to reflect the current state of the XML language so users are not mislead. A simple yellow Warning box at the beginning of the XML section stating that the XML hasn't been developed since 4.0 and is consider deprecated will be enough to properly inform users. Removing the "All features..." would be useful as well. I'm planning to provided a pull request in the next week or so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.x Additional info: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user/29310/match=xml+language http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_BRMS_Platform/5/html-single/JBoss_Rules_5_Reference_Guide/index.html#sect-XML_Rule_language
Thanks Justin. I've removed the offending section from the JBoss Rules Reference Guide. The changes will be apparent when we publish the BRMS 5.3 documentation. Thanks Lee
Hello Lee, Will this change be ported to all 5.x versions of the community documentation as well?
Hi Justin, the only changes I've made are to the product documentation. Thanks Lee
