I don't know much about how to use it, but to install it as an eclipse plugin, this should work:

  1. Start Eclipse
  2. Help -> Install New Software
  3. In the Work With: or Site: input field, enter: "http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/<VERSION>.Final/org.drools.updatesite/", replace "<VERSION>" with appropriate version and click the "Add" button
  4. For the Name you can just enter "Drools"
  5. Check the Drools and jBPM checkbox and follow the instructions to get it installed.

Hope this helps
