Max accumulate function is not working for negative integers
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-1899
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1899
             Project: JBoss Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: drools-core  (expert)
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0.M3, 4.0.7
            Reporter: Edson Tirelli
            Assignee: Edson Tirelli
             Fix For: 4.0.8, 5.0.0.CR1


Some smart guy decided to name the following constants with the same name, but completely different semantics:

Long:
static long 	MIN_VALUE
          A constant holding the minimum value a long can have, -2^63.

Double:
static double 	MIN_VALUE
          A constant holding the smallest POSITIVE nonzero value of type double, 2^-1074.

Sure enough, I was using Double.MIN_VALUE thinking it was the smalles NEGATIVE number, the same way as Long.MIN_VALUE, and that screwed the max function implementation.
