Trouble requiring compiled classes with 1.7

I’m was trying to play around with jar-ing up a project in warbler using
JRuby 1.7, but ran across errors starting up a warble “compiled” jar,
with
my .rb classes compiled. Not sure if this is related to 1.9.2 -> 1.9.3,
or
if this is something new with JRuby 1.7, but it keeps throwing errors
trying to require a compiled class.

I inspected a bit more - I unzipped the jar and tried to require a
single
compiled class in irb:

bporterfield@ ~/require_problem$ ruby -v
jruby 1.7.0.dev (ruby-1.9.3-p139) (2012-03-29 4972b84) (Java HotSpot™
64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_04-ea) [darwin-amd64-java]
bporterfield@ ~/require_problem$ irb
require ‘jruby-head :001 > require ‘config.class’

jruby-head :002 > load ‘config.class’
=> true

Warbler auto-creates .rb stubs when compiling that look like: require
FILE.sub(/.rb$/, ‘.class’) - I tried changing stubs to
‘load FILE.sub(/.rb$/, ‘.class’)’ and the app seemed to load
properly.

Is this an expected change?
