Rule packages are useful for organizing your rule artifacts in a logical way.

To create a rule package:

  1. In the Rule Explorer view, select the rules folder, then on the File menu click New > Rule Package.
  2. In the New Rule Package wizard, type a name for your rule package in the Package name field.
  3. Click Finish.
  4. The new rule package now appears in the Rule Explorer view under the rules folder of your rule project.

When you create a rule package, you can directly create a package hierarchy by separating names with a dot.

For example, myPackage.subPackage.subPackage creates the following hierarchy:
