It's not so simple. The RuleBaseConfiguration constructor uses "rulebase.conf" as an argument to a ChainedProperties constructor call, which promptly prefixes this with "drools." or $HOME + "/drools." or "META-INF/drools." etc., in order to look for properties in all the places mentioned in the documentation.

You can read org.drools.util.ChainedProperties for more details.

Furthermore, a find/grep over the source code does not turn up any
"drools.rulebase.conf" string.

I assume, therefore, that this is a documentation bug, and that the file
that is actually sought is named rulebase.conf, and that's where I should
put the properties that are named by the KnowledgeBaseConfiguration Javadoc?
