Building Jruby 1.5.1

luislavena · October 30, 2011, 4:33am

Hi

   I am trying to integrate jruby into an application. For this

these are the following steps I am following.

→ create a maven project
→ I have a manually downloaded JRuby 1.5.1 zip file.
→ I unzip it into a directory using maven ant run plugin.
→ Then build it by calling the ant build file.

For some reason the build fails with the following error. I am unable to
understand where the dependency is missing. The project builds fine as a
standalone.

I have posted the question on Maven mailing list, but didn’t find a
resolution so far. Here is that post.

http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-Antrun-doesn-t-compile-the-project-well-td4930208.html#a4944667

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat

Do you really mean 1.5.1? That’s an ancient version of JRuby. 1.6.5
is the current release.

Yep

 I am in the process of mavenizing a project that uses 1.5.1. I

could problably upgrade to 1.6.5 in later as this might be too much to
deal with right now. But I am putting that off for later, i.e. once I
complete the conversion.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Kristian. I stumbled across that plugin, so I
thought I could use it when I replace 1.5.1.

For now I developed a shell script which I can configure using maven
exec plugin. Eventually, once I am done with the mavenization, I can
think about 1.6.x and maven-dependency-plugin.

Thanks

hmm, with jruby-1.6.x you could this:

downloading and unzipping of zip file which is in a maven repository
can be done with maven-dependency-plugin. an example for this you can
find here

            <dependency>
              <groupId>rubygems</groupId>
              <artifactId>jruby-openssl</artifactId>
              <type>gem</type>
            </dependency>

              <artifactId>bouncy-castle-java</artifactId>
              <type>gem</type>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>

              <artifactId>bundler</artifactId>
              <type>gem</type>
              <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
          </dependencies>
          <dependencyManagement>
            <dependencies>
              <dependency>
                <groupId>rubygems</groupId>

just use
groupId : org.jruby
artifactId : jruby-dist
classifier : bin
type : zip
and choose your download directory.

maybe that helps to get to jruby-1.6.x first
