JRuby enforces Java Style Class naming convention while Java itself does not
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4930
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4930
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java Integration
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5
Environment: Linux openSUSE 11.2, JRuby 1.5.0, Java 1.5.0_16
Reporter: Colby Gutierrez-Kraybill
Priority: Minor
At javasupport/core_ext/object.rb:89, there is a section that enforces the Java
Style Guide for starting a class name with a capital letter. While I
agree/endorse the style guide, java itself does not enforce this condition, and
this check in jruby can interfere with using pre-existing java code written in
a stylistically poor manner.
I'm humbly requesting that this enforcement be dropped in future releases in
favor of interoperability instead of stylistic perfection.
This is all predicated on my belief that this wouldn't cause other problems
throughout the rest of the JRuby project :).
