However this generally hasn't hindered JRuby on Rails developers. Basically all functionality available through Ruby extensions is available through Java libraries, and if what you need is only available in a C-based library, we also support using JNA to hook it up.Charles Oliver Nutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400331959739924670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704664917418794835.post-70557601989571834482007-10-31T10:01:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:01:00.000-07:00Anonymous: Yes, that's correct; anything that ...Anonymous: Yes, that's correct; anything that uses RMagick will not currently work, though there's a Java port in progress. I think it primarily limits only existing apps that want to migrate between environments and still use native extensions. It should require only a little ceativity and maybe a little porting to bring up new apps or existing apps entirely on JRuby.<br><br>In general, I feel that while extensions provide a lot of nice features for Ruby, they're also a primary reason for its progress being held back.Charles Oliver Nutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400331959739924670noreply@blogger.com
