Installing Rule Designer
As a rule developer, you work in Rule Designer to create at least the beginnings of a decision service. You define a XOM and set up a vocabulary so that you can author and orchestrate the rules that implement your business logic. You must install an update site for Rule Designer into an existing Eclipse.
About this task
Rule Designer is installed as an update site from the Eclipse Marketplace into an existing Eclipse version 4.7.3a.
Note:
If you install Rule Designer in an
Eclipse environment that does not use an English locale:
- The Eclipse messages remain in the language of your Eclipse environment.
- If Rule Designer provides the verbalizer for the language, you can create rule artifacts in this language. If a verbalizer for this language does not exist, the rule artifacts that you create are in English.
- Rule Designer messages appear in the locale if it is supported. Otherwise, they appear in English.
- To change the locale so that everything is in English, add the osgi.nl=en_US property to the <Eclipse_InstallDir>/configuration/config.ini file, and then restart Rule Designer.
