Forum: JRuby What is the correct syntax for this in jruby 1.6.8?

I am trying to make use of this file with the jruby-jars 1.6.8

https://github.com/hck/open_nlp/blob/master/lib/op...

but I would get syntax error around line 45 of the above file

The following is the error that I would get.  What is the correct syntax
for jruby 1.6.8?  I know that this file works in jruby 1.7.0 (jruby-jars
1.7.0 <http://rubygems.org/gems/jruby-jars>)

application initialization failed:

1.6.8 defaults to ruby 1.8.7, whilst 1.7.0 default to ruby 1.9.3.
The syntax you are using is 1.9-specific, so try:

data = { :type => kid.getType, :parent_type => self.j_instance.getType,
:token => kid.toString }


Regards,
Sébastien.

...or she can start JRuby version (< 1.7) with the --1.9 option, no?...

...by putting "--1.9" in the JRUBY_OPTS environment variable, or 
specifying "--1.9" on a JRuby command line?
