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

Master the Boss http://www.mastertheboss.com/ has some tutorials on how to use it as well

The Drools downloads page is at: http://www.jboss.org/drools/downloads

    Mid 2014, I used "Help / Install New Software" and wired up this URL. http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/6.0.0.Final/org.drools.updatesite/ – granadaCoder Jun 06 '14 at 01:40

    The update site URL given in this answer is subject to change. The given URL is specific to the 5.5.0.Final release of Drools. It's better to go to the drools download page, http://www.drools.org/download/download.html, then look (currently towards the bottom of the page) for the Eclipse Update Site section, then use that URL in step 3 of this answer. – Erick G.
