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: I'll revise that part to say something like, "While a few DRL-aware editors have existed over the years, they have either offered limited language support or fallen behind on maintenance," without mentioning specific product names. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
