Charlie, So, I see the semantic mismatch, but what is the technical reason for having a separate extension?I see some benefits of using the standard .class extension, such as being able to compile JRuby compiled bytecode into native code (e.g. using the JET compiler), or to run an obfuscator on the class files (imagine how confused if someone were to try to decompile JRuby code to Java...). Besides, wouldn't this require a separate classloader to load the byte code?
One question here...if the file format was identical, why does the extension matter to these tools?
