Allow Rubygems to be loaded and used from within jar files
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3126
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3126
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nick Sieger
Assignee: Nick Sieger
Fix For: JRuby 1.1.6
At RubyConf I looked at what it would take to allow gems to be loaded from
within jar files. It turns out we already had most of what we need in order to
make this work, including globbing inside of jar files.
This work includes the following:
* Allow the gem command and gems packaged in the jruby-complete jar (rake,
rspec) to be usable without unpacking them. See http://gist.github.com/22905
for a quick example.
* Allow other gems to be packaged in jar files and loadable off the classpath.
See http://gist.github.com/23085 for a demo of this.
* Installing gems with the complete jar will cause them to be installed in
~/.gem
