[ANN] jruby-maven-plugins, jbundler, jar-depenencies, ruby-maven, etc

jruby-maven-plugins version 1.0.4

after a long time it reached 1.0.0 and got some more bug fixes already.

with those plugin you can run jruby with gem-artifacts, run tests
(junit,
minitest, rspec, cucumber) using those gems or pack them as embeded gems
into jar or war files

gem artifacts are offered by http://rubygems-proxy.torquebox.org/

some info can be found on jruby-wiki

all those pages use a Ruby-DSL for Maven

Ruby-Maven 3.1.1.0.8

basically a regular maven-3.1.1 installation with an extra thin wrapper
which “translates” a ruby file into a pom.xml

it comes with some “extras” feature to use a Gemfile, Jarfile or
gemspec-file as part of the POM. as well it leverages the
jruby-maven-plugins.

it also allows to execute code during a declared phase, i.e. like
inlined
maven plugins written in ruby.

Rubygems-Servlets

if you need Gem-Artifacts from your local rubygems repository you can
use

to proxy gem repository and deliver gem-artifacts.

for a more advanced solution use sonatype.org/nexus with
nexus-ruby-plugin
from:
GitHub - sonatype/nexus-ruby-support

rubygems-servlets uses the same core as this nexus-plugin.

JBundler 0.6.1

manage your jars for your ruby project with jbundler

  • it uses ruby-maven now to lock down the version for the jars
  • allows exclusions on jars (maven feature)
  • uses jar-dependencies to “track and load” jars

the 0.6.x might break some existing project. in such a case please use
$ jbundle lock_down
instead of install and open an issue:

Jar-Dependencies 0.0.5

  • during runtime it tracks the version of loaded jars - if
    require_jar(…)
    is used to load it
  • it can “vendor” the jars declared as “jar dependency” inside the
    gemspec
    file before packing them
  • it can “vendor” the jars when you install the gem

see on how you can manage your jars with jbundler (and
jar-dependencies):

Clueing Things Together

putting the Gemfile, Jarfile and some common maven-plugins, the
jruby-maven-plugins together. with the help of ruby-maven you can easily
pack
