Drools - Create a Drools Program

Select the first two files. The first file is a .drl file (Drools Rule File) and the second file is a Java class for loading and executing the HelloWorld rule.

Click on Next → Finish.

Once you click on Finish, a <DroolsTest> project is created in your workspace. Open the Java class and then right-click and run as Java application. You would see the output as shown here −
