I received this NullPointerException after upgrading to drools 5.1.1.  The NullPointerException is being thrown when the rule executes "update($build);" where $build is set in the LHS from a Build in working memory.  I'm not sure if the bug is that matches may be null and a null check needs to be added or if something else is going on causing the tuple to not be found.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
