Issue Type: Bug Bug
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.6.7
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Extensions
Created: 05/Jun/12 1:55 AM
Description:

The MRI Ruby 1.9.3 came with some libraries split into Gems - for example bigdecimal and io-console. In Fedora we unbundled them and made them normal Gems. The reason to unbundle them is simple - if newer versions are installed, they only get picked up if they are in gemspec files or Gemfiles and installed as normal Gems - otherwise the versions in Ruby library path get picked up by Bundler.

So the problem is, that we now need to add e.g. bigdecimal to gemspec files, but that doesn't work with JRuby, because there is no bigdecimal (or io-console) Gem for JRuby. Would it be possible to provide these (because they are written in C, some kind of Java counterpart would be needed)? For the related issues, see [1] (fake gems problems in general) and [2] (activesupport uses bigdecimal, but doesn't have it in gemspec).
