java.lang.ClassFormatError, jruby's bug or JVM's

Ruby JRuby
1

Hi all
Couple of days ago, I post a message of “java.lang.ClassFormatError
under IBM java”. With the new release of the Jruby 1.60, the same
thing happens again. Is this a bug of Jruby or it is something related
to IBM java?

Thanks!

Some details of the problem
to trigger the problem, just run a rake session, even without a
rakefile
jruby -S rake -T

I suspect that IBM’s JVM doesn’t like the class name ‘rubyjit’. I don’t
think capitalization of the class names is a language specification
(Java SE Specifications),
but rather a convention. As such, one may argue that J9 is taking the
convention too far in rejecting the name.

If my guess is right, it would be a simple one character edit to silence
J9.

Anyhow, please file a bug at http://bugs.jruby.org.

Thanks for the quick update.
Just did a quick test, The Capital “Rubyjit” doesn’t work. It looks
like the culprit is the “#” in the class name…

I am having problem of filing a bug. Can anybody else help me do this?
Thanks.
