        <br>
        I would like to read some documentation on how the rules engine
        (specifically for planner) works.<br>
        I have a number of unanswered questions.<br>
        &nbsp;<br>
        Some type of questions:<br>
        <br>
        - If I have two rules in my drl file, will the engine execute
        first the first rule with all possible combinations of the
        planning entities matching the conditions of the rule<br>
        &nbsp;&nbsp; and then the second rule with all possible combinations of
        the planning entities matching the conditions of the rule<br>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    the order depends on the rule agenda, see drools expert manual<br>

    You can put System.out.println() in the RHS.<br>
    Drools expert does not support TRACE logging to support this for you
    currently.<br>
    If you would like this, vote for this issue:<br>

    </blockquote>
    Those "causes" is to keep Drools Expert's insertLogical's behaviour
    happy because an <span>IntConstraintOccurrence's equals/hashcode is
      called so only 1 can be in the working memory.<br>
      Basically, they explain what caused that part of the score. It's
      interesting if you want to use them to explain why a solution has
      a certain score.<br>
      But, on the other hand, it's a PITA and I am working on an
      alternative that's easier to use and faster, once drools expert
      supports ChangeMatchListeners.<br>
      <br>
      In any case, it's a valid issue that the docs don't explain this
      causes thing.<br>
