It turns VS Code into a productive environment for writing, navigating, and maintaining rules. + +<!-- truncate --> + +## Why a dedicated DRL extension? + +DRL files have always been text files, and for years "support" in an editor meant little more than syntax colouring — if you were lucky. Completion, navigation, and error feedback all required running the build just to know whether a rule compiled. For teams with large rule sets this friction adds up: a rule that refers to a renamed Java class, a missing `end`, a typo in a declared type — all silent until `mvn test`. Review Comment: @tkobayas do you want to mention the old redhat eclipse extension? I don't think I ever saw it fully functional and can't remember what was in it other than a working memory debugging pane... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
