    - #### getVariableName

          public String getVariableName()

    - #### getToPlanningValue

          public Object getToPlanningValue()

    - #### isMoveDoable

          public boolean isMoveDoable​(ScoreDirector<Solution_> scoreDirector)

      Description copied from interface: `Move`
      Called before a move is evaluated to decide whether the move can be done and evaluated. A Move is not doable if:
      - Either doing it would change nothing in the `PlanningSolution`.
      - Either it's simply not possible to do (for example due to built-in hard constraints).

      It is recommended to keep this method implementation simple: do not use it in an attempt to satisfy normal hard and soft constraints.

      Although you could also filter out non-doable moves in for example the `MoveSelector` or `MoveListFactory`, this is not needed as the `Solver` will do it for you.

      Parameters:
        `scoreDirector` - the `ScoreDirector` not yet modified by the move.
      Returns:
        true if the move achieves a change in the solution and the move is possible to do on the solution.

    - #### createUndoMove

          public ChangeMove<Solution_> createUndoMove​(ScoreDirector<Solution_> scoreDirector)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractMove`
      Called before the move is done, so the move can be evaluated and then be undone without resulting into a permanent change in the solution.
      Specified by:
        `createUndoMove` in class `AbstractMove<Solution_>`
      Parameters:
        `scoreDirector` - the `ScoreDirector` not yet modified by the move.
      Returns:
        an undoMove which does the exact opposite of this move.

    - #### doMoveOnGenuineVariables

          protected void doMoveOnGenuineVariables​(ScoreDirector<Solution_> scoreDirector)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractMove`
      Like `AbstractMove.doMove(ScoreDirector)` but without the `ScoreDirector.triggerVariableListeners()` call (because `AbstractMove.doMove(ScoreDirector)` already does that).
      Specified by:
        `doMoveOnGenuineVariables` in class `AbstractMove<Solution_>`
      Parameters:
        `scoreDirector` - never null

    - #### rebase

          public ChangeMove<Solution_> rebase​(ScoreDirector<Solution_> destinationScoreDirector)

      Description copied from interface: `Move`
      Rebases a move from an origin `ScoreDirector` to another destination `ScoreDirector` which is usually on another `Thread` or JVM. The new move returned by this method translates the entities and problem facts to the destination `PlanningSolution` of the destination `ScoreDirector`, That destination `PlanningSolution` is a deep planning clone (or an even deeper clone) of the origin `PlanningSolution` that this move has been generated from.

      That new move does the exact same change as this move, resulting in the same `PlanningSolution` state, presuming that destination `PlanningSolution` was in the same state as the original `PlanningSolution` to begin with.

      Generally speaking, an implementation of this method iterates through every entity and fact instance in this move, translates each one to the destination `ScoreDirector` with `ScoreDirector.lookUpWorkingObject(Object)` and creates a new move instance of the same move type, using those translated instances.

      The destination `PlanningSolution` can be in a different state than the original `PlanningSolution`. So, rebasing can only depend on the identity of `planning entities` and planning facts, which is usually declared by a `PlanningId` on those classes. It must not depend on the state of the `planning variables`. One thread might rebase a move before, amid or after another thread does that same move instance.

      This method is thread-safe.

      Parameters:
        `destinationScoreDirector` - never null, the `ScoreDirector.getWorkingSolution()` that the new move should change the planning entity instances of.
      Returns:
        never null, a new move that does the same change as this move on another solution instance

    - #### getSimpleMoveTypeDescription

          public String getSimpleMoveTypeDescription()

      Description copied from interface: `Move`
      Describes the move type for statistical purposes. For example "ChangeMove(Process.computer)".

      The format is not formalized. Never parse the `String` returned by this method.

      Returns:
        never null

    - #### getPlanningEntities

          public Collection<? extends Object> getPlanningEntities()

      Description copied from interface: `Move`
      Returns all planning entities that are being changed by this move. Required for `AcceptorType.ENTITY_TABU`.

      This method is only called after `Move.doMove(ScoreDirector)` (which might affect the return values).

      Duplicate entries in the returned `Collection` are best avoided. The returned `Collection` is recommended to be in a stable order. For example: use `List` or `LinkedHashSet`, but not `HashSet`.

      Returns:
        never null

    - #### getPlanningValues

          public Collection<? extends Object> getPlanningValues()

      Description copied from interface: `Move`
      Returns all planning values that entities are being assigned to by this move. Required for `AcceptorType.VALUE_TABU`.

      This method is only called after `Move.doMove(ScoreDirector)` (which might affect the return values).

      Duplicate entries in the returned `Collection` are best avoided. The returned `Collection` is recommended to be in a stable order. For example: use `List` or `LinkedHashSet`, but not `HashSet`.

      Returns:
        never null
