[rules-users] Automatic updating of Guvnor Rules appears to be not working.

[Stephen Mcgruer]

Hi there. I'm trying to get automatic update of rules working in my  
project, and seem to
have run into a problem. As far as I can tell, automatic polling and  
updating is turned
on, and claims to update the knowledgebase, but changes to the rules  
don't seem to have
any effect. A simple example - if I add the rule:

rule "TestRule"
         dialect "mvel"
         when
         then
                 System.out.println("Hello, world!");
end

And start my application, I get:

Firing all rules...
Hello, world!
All rules fired.

As expected. If I then change the rule as follows:

rule "TestRule"
         dialect "mvel"
         when
         then
                 System.out.println("I have changed!");
end

I get this output (timestamps trimmed for readability):

ResourceChangeScanner attempt to scan 1 resources

KnowledgeAgent adding KnowledgeDefinitionsPackage ERMIE
KnowledgeAgent new KnowledgeBase now built and in use

So, this makes it seem like everything has worked. However, if I  
insert a new fact and
fire all rules...

Inserting new fact...
Hello, World!

So, it hasn't worked. What might I have done wrong?
