My take is that it would be more worthwhile to optimize JRuby + Nailgun usage than trying to replicate the RJB model with a remote JVM.
e.g. if JRuby librairies can remain in memory (already JIT optimized) then you can further eliminate startup costs. alex On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 8:34 AM, Ittay Dror <[email protected]> wrote: > first, congrats on becoming a TLP! > > > through my usage of buildr on different platforms, i discovered that rjb is > a very tricky solution. it relies on loading java through jni, a mechanism > that is not very often used and so is not available on some platforms (most > painful and not yet working is hpux) and requires hacking on others. jruby > is not a very good alternative because it slows down the build considerably. > > > maybe there can be another alternative: by running the jvm normally and > using nailgun to communicate with it, passing object to/from similarly to > what rjb does. what do you think? > > > -- > -- > Ittay > > >
