hi, first I need to express my point of view about jruby and classloaders/classpath, etc and that I did in blog post of mine:
http://blog.mkristian.tk/2011/09/jruby-and-rubygems-and-javaclassloader.html sonatype.org worked on a nexus plugin which can offer a maven repository as rubygems-repository. the plan was to offer this for maven-central but it is not sure whether that ever materializes. but the plugin works (might run into inode problems on ext3 filesystem or maybe other FS when mirroring): https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-ruby-support in case you want to submit an issue do it on my fork https://github.com/mkristian/nexus-ruby-support/issues maven-gem support in jruby is not really ready for production: * any update of rubygems will wipe it out completely * dependency resolution of rubygems and maven differ which results in different set of jars which are used. * there are maven artifacts which depends on the JVM you are using and "dispatch" to the JVM dependent jar ruby-maven tries to be an extension for bundler which deals with jar dependencies which removes all the above short comings. when you use the bin-stubs from ruby-maven (which are located in ./target/bin) then you can use all your ruby commands with a classloader setup with your jar dependencies and maven did do the dependency resolution, i.e. exactly those jars are used which the pom files declared. the idea of "ruby-maven is for jars and bundle is for gems" is pretty new so any feedback is more then welcome ! regards, Kristian On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 9:54 PM, Tobias Schlottke <tobias.schlot...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I recently had some problems with jar dependencies in jRuby and tried to find > the most elegant solution. > IMHO the "gem install mvn:" feature is brilliant. > The only missing thing is bundler support. > Bundler is not able to find the gems because they're not included in the > #list result, which is the actual problem: > As far as I understood maven, it is not possible to list all jars in a maven > repo. > > So my question is: > Is anybody working on this topic? > IMHO there should be a way to inject a list of artifacts or a project with > the goal to build a central index. > Builder is the best way to resolve and handle those dependencies. > > What do you think? > > Take a look at what I did so far: > https://github.com/tobsch/maven-rubygems > > I know that this is pretty dirty but I wanted to get a feeling for your > opinion on this first. > > Best, > > Tobias > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
