Rcov for JRuby

Hi all,

We have a gem for RCov that largely works for JRuby.  Not all the unit tests pass but the differences to date look to be differences between how JRuby and MRI work (Charles if you’ve some time I’d like to talk to you about some of these differences to see if my hypotheses are correct).  There are no breaking errors anymore.  I’ve been able to run RCov in my build at work, but we thought it would be good to solicit some help from the community to help do some more testing with RCov for Java. 

To that end I’ve put the gem up here http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2014&release_id=24316  but it doesn’t appear to be named properly for rubyforge (please bear with me as I learn how to properly do that) so you might have to manually download and install the gem.   If you’ve the time and wherewithal please check it out and get back to me with any problems you might find.  I’ve installed it on a clean machine and it works for me but … I’ve said those words before only to have it blow up in my face J

Requirements for this gem are:

Java 1.5

JRuby 1.1.3

I found somepeople over on github actively working on Rcov so I forked their version and I’ve integrated the java stuff into my fork.  (hooligan495/rcov if you want to check it out)  Our long term goal is to have the java extension be part of the rcov source tree and we can generate a –java version of the gem from that.

We look forward to all your feedback. (and appreciate your understanding as we work through the bumps J)

Thanks !

Jay
