The reason is that as the no. of rules in the rulebase grows, it is
possible that some of the rule can be re-used/shared for specific
purpose.
I am not sure this is the good reason. Of course, like you said, if
it can solved by using agenda-group, activation-group, salience. That
will be wonderful.

Why would you want to execute a single rule?
The logic you'd write to determine which rule to fire should itself be part
of the rules: So, for example, if you want to validate facts of type "Smurf"
then write a rule that matches on "Smurf". When you insert a "Smurf"
only
the rules that match on this will become candidates for execution when you
call fireAllRules. Perhaps use of a stateless session would simplify things
so you need not worry about other facts in WM "polluting" the results you
expect to see?
More and more questions are posted here asking how to make individual rules
execute; IMO the solution is to change your thinking about how Rules Engines
work.
If you give your use-case we might be able to advise a better approach.
With kind regards,
Mike
