015/**
016 * Course limit constraint. This global constraint ensures that a limit of each
017 * course is not exceeded. This means that the total sum of weights of course
018 * requests (see {@link Request#getWeight()}) enrolled into a course is below
019 * the course's limit (see {@link Course#getLimit()}).
020 * 
021 * <br>
022 * <br>
023 * Sections with negative limit are considered unlimited, and therefore
024 * completely ignored by this constraint.
025 * 
026 * <br>

028 * Parameters:

039 * selected as conflicting.</td>
