I'm trying to use IntelliJ IDEA with legacy project with Drools files but I'm not successful in this.

I added Drools framework to the module with *.drl files and... nothing. I can't reformat *.drl files, don't have any navigation, no code completion etc.

I expected to see ability to add Drools facet to my module, specify *.drl files and then work with Drools files basically as with Spring framework.

So what Drools support actually IntelliJ IDEA has?

Do you have the Drools plugin enabled in IntelliJ IDEA?

To check it, you need to navigate to File -> Settings -> Plugins, then search for Drools. The plugin is called JBoss Drools support. If it's not enabled, enable it.
