[rules-users] Separate selectable drl files in drools kbase.. Or agenda groups

[Wolfgang Laun]

You can change the focus on the RHS of a rule as well, using the API.
Starting in the default agenda group, a low salience rule would set
the AG for the Spartan group and so on.

Notice that any attribute can be set in front of or in between rules to
become effective in successive rules. This should also work in XLS,
except that you may have to create three files for your three groups.
(The XLS parser isn't very intelligent, at least wasn't last time I was
looking.)
