I am trying to import a rule design project into Eclipse, but Eclipse is importing the BOM, XOM and Rules folders as three different projects. Please help
It is typical for an IBM ODM implementation to consist of separate Eclipse projects for the BOM, XOM, and rules. Typically, the XOM project is a Java project, containing the Java classes that make up the execution object model; the BOM project is a 'Rule' project, containing the business object model; and the rules folder is a 'Rule' project, containing the business rules, rule flows, and other rule elements. All three projects work together to form a Decision Service or Rule App that can be deployed to the rule server.
So, I would say there are no problems with what you describe and that you are off to a good start!
