I replied to your other email about this issue...and then found that I still had a bug. I've fixed that now (in r12816f3) We should probably file a bug to provide a better error message when the class can't be found. Maybe you could do that? You should also know that your MyRubyClass in myruby.rb does not define a "main" Java method, so you'll get an error like this: ~/projects/jruby ➔ java -cp .:lib/jruby.jar MyRubyClass Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main If you define a main method like so: require 'java' class MyRubyClass java_signature "void main(String[])" def self.main(args) MyRubyClass.new.helloWorld end def helloWorld puts "Hello from Ruby" end end It should work fine: ~/projects/jruby ➔ java -cp .:lib/jruby.jar MyRubyClass Hello from Ruby - Charlie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
