Here are examples to demonstrate migration from drl + bpmn in 7.74.0.Final
(Ex-ruleflow-bpmn-7.74) to only drl in 10.0.0 (Ex-ruleflow-drl-10.0).

https://github.com/tkobayas/kiegroup-examples/tree/master/Ex-ruleflow-migration

We can manage ruleFlowGroup with drl. I also added a small util class for
convenience (Utils.java).

This is something like what I wrote as "C) Just guide how to migrate
ruleflow to drl and java code."

The Sample-ruleflow.drl looks a little verbose, but not too bad, I think.
