Please revert this change. There wasn't even 24 hours of

before you made it.
When the feature was introduced there was a fairly lengthy
discussion with
the JRuby folks. I doubt they've even had a change to check this
list.
Hey, my *jruby* search picked this up.
I have no general objection to --format-executables being on by
default, except that it will mean a whole lot of tutorials out there
get a bit more confusing ("rails myapp" will now be "jrails myapp").
As a user who uses multiple interpreters regularly, I would find
this to be both more consistent, and very useful. I won't claim to
be representative of most users though.
The addition of Gem.bin_path should aid actually launching
applications with Kernel#system etc, although I don't know if this
can be made to fit more gracefully with jruby's special casing for
such methods?
Agreed. I think, at least for bug 26892, this can easily be fixed for
RubyGems-internal use of standard tools like rake.
I would certainly expect, other than old habits, consistent use of
this wouldn't be too confusing for users after the initial change
over?
