[rules-users] Templates / Generated rules debugging

[Edson Tirelli]

   Yes, check the PackageBuilderConfiguration class for the method
setDumpDir(). Please note that drools generates and compile files in memory,
so after you stop debugging, remember to turn this option off again to not
consume unnecessary IO time.

   Also, the java code is usually not much helpful. Best to use the loggers
as suggested by Ingomar.
