Native jruby launcher needed (at least for Windows)
---------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4100
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4100
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Fix For: JRuby 1.5
jruby.bat maintenance is tricky, we always getting new and new problems with
it, applying hacks on top of hacks on top of hacks, and at the end it is still
doesn't fully work 100% reliably. Not to mention that any kind of improvement
to BAT file most definitely introduces all kinds of weird regressions.
So it seems that the only way out of this situation is a native JRuby launcher,
at least for Windows.
So far, the following variants have been proposed:
1. Use tinyrb to parse command line arguments and to launch java.

http://github.com/wmeissner/tinyrb -- Wayne' FFI
2. Use some readily available launchers, there are *PLENTY* of those, none of
them would allow us
to keep the command line unchanged though...
a) http://launch4j.sourceforge.net
b) http://winrun4j.cvs.sourceforge.net
c)
http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/modules/native_launcher/README.txt
d) Eclipse.exe or Netbeans.exe - these are aslo extendable launchers
3. Write our own from scratch. :)
