jruby is a "bad" maven citizen
------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4675
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4675
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.x+
Reporter: kristian meier

0001-make-jruby.jar-a-better-maven-citizen-on-the-pom-lev.patch
I restrict myself to the part which effects users of that maven artifact
jruby.jar and leave away the "nice to have" parts.
with this artifact you can not use another version of joda library without
ending up with two joda libraries in the classpath. dito for the jline library.
the provided scope is only for compile and test time and these dependencies are
not transitive, i.e. they do NOT contribute to the classpath for any maven
build using the artifact. since ant is building the jar they are just not
needed beside maybe for book keeping.
once the 3rd party libs got fixed I can use this jar to compile my code against
it. but the moment I need I newer version of any of the "implicit" dependencies
like jffi I face the same problem as with the 3rd party libraries but here the
problem with the "provided" scope spawns over all the jruby artifacts. as an
interim solution one can resolve the "provided" transitive dependencies hull
manually and declare them as deps in jruby.jar artifact (which is already done
- just leave out the scope).
the last step is NOT to include the classes which are part of the dependencies
- exception are the ASM classes.
if the jruby.jar became a nice maven citizen I can use it the usual way to
compile my classes against jruby but I still miss one thing for runtime:
jruby-home.jar
with this new artifact I would have all I need for a nice maven setup using
jruby. and this jruby-home.jar can have a new release when I new version for
rubygems comes out (a current blocker with jruby-complete.jar and latest
version of bundler !!). my ant skills are many years dormant so I skipped the
patch for jruby-home.
last thing I realized is that the org.objectweb.asm package gets not mapped as
in the jruby-complete.jar - I guess the purpose of repacking is also true for
jruby.jar
