It has probably been a decade since I had a reason to try to use JNI. Does anyone have any experience building Gems using that approach? Would it be the case that there would be one JAR per supported platform (x64-mingw32, x86_64-linux, universal-darwin, x86-mingw32), or would it be a fat jar that include multiple JNI wrappers?
I am not clear on what capabilities of the existing gem are needed to satisfy the dependency of the Google Cloud gem (which is my personal motivation to see this move forward). Maybe Mike Moore knows better if the client side would be enough? I think I prefer to see the JRuby support sit alongside the existing Ruby code in the same repository, and tested in a consistent way. This will help avoid breaking behavior from slipping into the C implementation that isn't observed until someone thinks to update the other repo. It should also make it less likely that a gem update is released for the C derived platforms without a corresponding update for the JRuby variant.
