Rule project references are a way to make your business rule application modular by reusing rule project items such as business object models or templates in several rule projects.

You can either define rule project references in the New Rule Project wizard when you create the project, or add them later using the rule project Properties dialog.

To add rule project references:

  1. In the Rule Explorer view, select the required rule project, and on the Project menu click Properties.
  2. In the left pane of the Rule Project Properties dialog, click Rule Project References.
  3. A list of rule projects available to be referenced appears.
  4. Select the rule project(s) you want to reference, and click Apply.
  5. Click OK to close the Properties dialog.
  6. Your rule project references are now defined.
