>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>          Components: drools-core  (expert)
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.7, 5.0.0.M3
>            Reporter: Edson Tirelli

> 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.
