Run RSpec specs with JRuby
--------------------------

                 Key: BUILDR-29
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-29
             Project: Buildr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Test frameworks
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Nick Sieger


Attached is a test framework I wrote that allows me to write RSpec specs that 
test Java code.

If Buildr is run under MRI, JRuby is downloaded as a dependency and launched to 
run the specs.

If Buildr is run under JRuby, JRuby will launch a sub-vm of itself, including 
the project classpath but using the same JRuby version that was used to launch 
Buildr.

Note the following features and/or limitations:

* No specs for this currently exist; they'll need to be written if you want the 
coverage. I probably won't write them (for now) :)
* Assumes project specs are in the "spec" directory. You may want this to be 
customized.
* Runs specs in "specdoc" mode (hard-coded). Choosing a formatter would be 
another possible customization.
* Allows a {{SPEC}} environment variable to be set or passed on the 
command-line to specifiy a single spec to run (just like the RSpec rake task)
* Allows {{:required_gems}} as an option to be passed to the "test" clause of 
the project, which will ensure that gems are present before running (installing 
them if necessary) before running specs. There is currently no way to specify 
gem version.

* Uses ci_reporter to generate JUnit-like XML reports; assumes that they may be 
useful (perhaps in conjunction with the junit:report task); but it's not 
strictly necessary.
