Unable to connect Activiti with drools

I want to integrate drools rules with activiti and on deploying my .BAR file (which contains .drl file also) I get an error message Deployment xxxx does not contain rules.
I am new to java, activiti and drools.

I have followed the steps on the thread http://forums.activiti.org/content/businessruletask-deploy-error.
therefor I have added these jars to /path/to/webapps/activiti-explorer/WEB-INF/libs/ as well as to the maven dependencies in my project:
drools-api-5.1.1.jar
droools-core-5.1.1.jar
drools-compiler-5.1.1.jar
mvel2-2.1.0.drools.jar


Also I have edited the applicationContext.xml file  in /path/to/webapps/activiti-explorer/

I have created a simple project using eclipse with a bpmn file and a business rule.
After deploying when I start the process and the user fills the form an error occurs- Deployment xxxx does not contain rules.
The user at the thread I have mentioned above suggested to read chapter 12 of the book- activiti in action, but I could not understand much of it. For eg in which directory should I include the java code, mentioned in the book, with my project.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Is there any way to use Drools version 6 instead of version 5
