Rule Designer provides launch configurations for you to specify in which type of session you want to build and run, or debug, rules projects and Java™ applications.
A launch configuration specifies the type of session under which you execute a rule project. Rule Designer provides some launch configurations to build and run rule projects or Java applications, and some others to debug rule projects and applications.
Rule Designer proposes the following launch configurations to execute a rule project that has been built into a ruleset archive:
Running a Rule Project: using this configuration, you can choose the extractor, then transparently generate the ruleset archive and run it using a basic predefined engine.
Running a Java Application with Rules: you have to use this configuration when you have developed a Java project that loads a ruleset archive and executes it. With this launch configuration, you can automatically create the ruleset archive before running your Java project by specifying the rule project, the extractor, and the location of the ruleset archive to build.
A debugger launch configuration specifies what type of session you want to start when you begin a debugging session.
Rule Designer provides the following types of debugger launch configurations:
Debugger launch configuration for a rule project
Use this configuration to test the rules inside a rule project.
Debugger launch configuration for a Java application with rules
Use this configuration to test the rules inside a rule project and the Java project that calls the rule engine.
Debugger launch configuration for a remote Java application with rules
Use this configuration to test a remote Java application that executes the rules of a rule project. The Java application can be for rules or for RuleApps.
Because of Sun and IBM® JDK limitations, Eclipse cannot run nor debug launch configurations on projects that contain Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese, or GB18030 characters. To work around this issue, take either of the following actions:
Use a localized Windows operating system. For example, Windows localized in Japanese.
Use an international Windows operating system and change the Regional and Language Options to your required locale. For example, Japanese.
