   Yes, newest mvel version works fine, but that problem only happened when
using mvel dialect. For java, just do as Chris mentioned:

when
   Test( y == (x+1) )
then

   And it will work. The () is needed to tell the engine that what is inside
is a semantic code block, i.e., an expression that will return a value to be
compared to y.
