How to change the ports that JBoss uses

The easiest way is to simply pass a command line argument. This takes care of any desktop/laptop/development purposes.

run -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01
run -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-02

 For more complete changes check out the official docs under, 1.7 The Service Binding Manager .

Where did the drools-api.jar go?

JBoss BRMS 5.2 is out so naturally I started a new project in it.

The first thing I noticed after updating my pom.xml was that there was no drools-api-version.jar.

All of the api classes are now in knowledge-api-version.jar.  Be sure to update your pom!
