v1.0.4 and a few squashed bugs

We’ve just released a minor bug fix release of the 1.0.x branch of the JRuby/Gradle core plugins. We wanted to get a few bug fixes out to users before we release 1.1.0 - Dresden, a release which contains some great new features which are still baking in the oven.

Upgrading to this release is as easy as editing your build.gradle files:

build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories { jcenter() }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.github.jruby-gradle:jruby-gradle-plugin:1.0.4"
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.github.jruby-gradle.base'

The full diff from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 can be found here.

Improvements

#211: Upgrade to use JRuby 9.0.1.0 by default
#193: Avoid packing a redundant copy of jruby-mains inside packed jars

Bug fixes

#190: generated gradle.rb needs to follow the jars/gems setup we have everywhere else
#213: cannot resolve gems with ~> 0.10.4.0 to 0.10.4 the way bundler does
jruby-gradle-storm-plugin#21: enable easier subclassing of JRubyJar so subclasses can override properties cleanly.
