I recently downloaded Mule 3.5 after having a look at the new great features coming with the Batch module. After several days developing a flow that uses Batches using Anypoint Studio, when I wanted to deploy my app to my Mule 3.5 Community standalone server I got a disagreeable surprise: neither the batch xsd was contained in the Community runtime nor the batch module jar was in the lib/module folder.

Does that mean that the Batch module belongs to the Enterprise edition? Because I cannot see any mention to that "small detail" neither in the official documentation of the module http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation..., nor in the feature comparison page http://www.mulesoft.com/platform/soa/mule-esb-enterprise

At the same time, the Community runtime for Anypoint Studio comes with the batch module, as it can be seen in the corresponding plugin folder of eclipse.

Is it a marketing strategy to force users to switch to Enterprise edition? Maybe an error in the documentation? Perhaps an error of packaging of the Community runtime?

Yes, Batch Module is an Enterprise feature. And you are right that is not properly documented. For more detail on the content of each version you can take a look at the release notes, enterprise features are listed linking an EE jira key while community ones are linking a CE jira key.
