When you specify a ruletemplate for a given kbase in the kmodule.xml, it does not generate a warning or an error if the template or dtable does not exist.

For instance the following kmodule.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kmodule xmlns="http://jboss.org/kie/6.0.0/kmodule">
<kbase name="KBase1" packages="process, rules, decisiontables, ruletemplates">
<ruleTemplate dtable="decisiontables/dt_duplicate_facts.xls"
template="ruletemplates/tpl_duplicate_facts.drt"
row="2" col="2"/>
<ruleTemplate dtable="doesnotexist/dt_duplicate_facts.xls"
template="doesnotexist/tpl_duplicate_facts.drt"
row="2" col="2"/>
<ksession name="KSession1"/>
</kbase>
</kmodule>

This does not generate an error or warning even with trace log level. The user should be notified that these files don't exist (doesnotexist/dt_duplicate_facts.xls and doesnotexist/tpl_duplicate_facts.drt).
