Support the Oniguruma gem using Joni features
---------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4778
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4778
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions, HelpWanted
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
The Oniguruma gem basically provides a set of Ruby-land methods and classes to
make it possible to use the Oniguruma regular expression engine in Ruby 1.8
(it's standard in 1.9). I have started a port of it in pure Ruby here:
http://github.com/headius/joniguruma
It passes about 75% of the tests from the actual gem
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/oniguruma/), so it's a good start, but it needs
someone to work through the remaining issues.
Providing this gem would allow any 1.8-based libraries that depend on Oniguruma
to work unmodified on JRuby.
