I'm trying to figure out how to modify a gem that uses a jar to instead use the Java class files directly. It's an experiment to then try and add it to jruby-complete and see if it works.

I'm working on the redcloth gem here: http://github.com/jgarber/redcloth/tree/master

Running a short set of tests results in many errors:

$ jruby -S rake test TEST=test_parser.rb
...
=> 13 tests, 6 assertions, 1 failures, 9 errors

The only difference seems to be how I'm making the Java classes available.

However if I uncomment this statement:

include_class 'RedclothScanService$Base'

I get this error:

/Users/stephen/dev/ruby/src/jruby.git/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/builtin/javasupport/core_ext/object.rb:74:in `include_class': undefined method `RedclothScanService' for main:Object (NoMethodError)
