Rule set definition

Rule set is a collection of rule definitions and configurations. Both rule set and rules extend NamedObjectDefinition from Configurator. Rule set configuration is implementation specific, rule configuration is rule specific. See Rule set model documentation for more details.

Rule set is an XMI file. It can be edited in a text editor if necessary, but the recommended way is to use the rule set configuration editor. Install the editor from the Update site as shown here. This demo shows how to create a new rule set file.

This section shows tutorial's rule set in the editor and in XML form.
