Syntax highlighting for Drools Rules Language.

Steps to use

1. Download SublimeText 3
2. Install SublimeText's Package Control utility
3. Install the PackageDev package
   • While in SublimeText:
     • Ctrl + Shift + P
     • Begin typing "Package Control: Install Package" and select that option
     • Begin typing "PackageDev" and select that option (author is guillermooo)
   • If the above doesn't work, you can try installing it directly from here
4. Close SublimeText
5. Do one of the following actions below within this folder: ".../SUBLIME_HOME/Packages/User/"
   • Create a new syntax definition file in the proper folder and copy the contents of my file into it
     • Ctrl + Shift + P
     • Begin typing "PackageDev: New JSON Syntax Definition" and select that option
   • Copy my file directly into the proper folder
6. Open SublimeText & open the syntax definition file (Drools.JSON-tmLanguage)
7. Convert the JSON-tmLanguage file to a plain tmLanguage
   • Ctrl + Shift + P
   • Begin typing "PackageDev: Convert (YAML, JSON, PList) to..." and select this option when it appears
8. Set .drl files to open with this new syntax highlighter (if it doesn't automatically do it already)
   • Open a .drl file
   • View > Syntax > Open all with current extension as... > Drools
   • If "Drools" does not appear in the list, the files are likely not in the proper directory
