Hi devs, I would like to contribute a Buildr based build to JRuby. Buildr is a Rake-based build system that integrates well with Maven repositories, has a goal-based lifecycle that is very easy to extend and work with.
Buildr works on top of MRI or JRuby. I recently contributed a build using Buildr for jffi that shows a drastic reduction of the complexity of the ant build files. It is currently waiting for review on jira, and there may be more work as my C skills didn't allow me to finish the C compilation part: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4970 This email is meant to test the waters. Please also note I would work on the build system on my own as time permits, so I cannot give a firm date to contribute it. Any strong objections ? Thanks, Antoine
