My apologies if this is known and/or not an “issue”. (I had a quick look
through maybe possible issue categories in the codehaus Issues
Navigator,
including all the Windows issues, but I couldn’t see anything similar to
this.)
I’ve just installed JRuby 1.5.1 using the Microsoft Windows installer
jruby_windows_1_5_1.exe.
Using a small sample ruby program C:\ruby\vp.rb (but the issue seems to
be
with any ruby program):
puts “* ver=#{RUBY_VERSION}; plat=#{RUBY_PLATFORM};”
If I start the path to a ruby program with a \ or a /, then JRuby seems
to
append that path to the current working directory. (Which doesn’t happen
if
the path to the ruby program starts with C:, …, …, etc.) Is this
intentional, or might it be a bug?
I’ve got other examples of this behaviour, and I’d be happy to post
these,
but the following example seems to show all the significant aspects of
this
behaviour, and seems to behave consistently with what I’ve just set out.
If if might be an as yet unreported bug, then I’ll be happy to try to
submit
a bug report.

P.S.
I’ve just deleted JRuby 1.4 from my system (because 1.5.1 seemed to be
working fully), otherwise I’d have also tried it with that.
