Hello,
the default date format is "dd-MMM-yyyy"
if you want to change there is a property to change drools.dateformat
you can set it like this
System.setProperty( "drools.dateformat", "dd/MM/YYYY" );
you can also set the the next properties like this
System.setProperty( "drools.defaultlanguage", "en" );
System.setProperty( "drools.defaultcountry" ,"US" );
that will override the default settings which are "en" and "US"
regards
Nicolas Héron

You would have to set the default Locale of the JRE.

Either call Locale.setDefault(Locale.US) (class java.util.Locale) before you parse any dates, or launch java with the user.country property set to US.

For more than you'd ever want to know about Locales, see this: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/locale/index.html
