[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-4866) ActivationsSorter: Comparison method violates its general contract!

[Leonid Sotnikov (Jira)]

     [ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DROOLS-4866?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Leonid Sotnikov updated DROOLS-4866:
------------------------------------
    Steps to Reproduce: 
Unfortunately I can't provide real data in order to reproduce the error, since the data is sensible. However I've managed to mock the activations which trigger the exception on sorting. I've attached a test to reproduce the error.

- Run SortTest.test, the test fails with an IllegalArgumentException
- The activations are stored in testdata.txt

Each line in testdata.txt represents an activation: <rulename>:\[<ids of handles>\]
