buildr on jruby and windows, sort of success.

[Tomas Carlsson <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for a great build system!

Just wanted to share what I had to do to get Buildr trunk (rev 645177)
running on JRuby and Windows.

 * The "which" function in the Rakefile evals ENV['PATH']. This failed when
my path variable in Windows was defined as "Path" (which it was by default
in my system); I had to rename it to "PATH".

 * "jruby -S rake setup" does not work because "sudo" is called in the gem
install command. So I manually installed the deps listed in Rakefile (jruby
-S gem install ...).

 * "jruby -S rake spec" fails on
        ./spec/application_spec.rb:279:in `describe': can't convert Symbol
into String (TypeError)
    but it seems you dont _have_ to run the tests.

* I had to edit the ./buildfile to "require 'buildr/nailgun'" instead of
"require 'buildr/java/nailgun'"

* The install of the buildr gem fails because it calls "sudo". So I ran that
command manually: "jruby -S gem install pkg\buildr-1.3.0-java.gem"

This worked for me. Now I just have to check that buildr trunk on jruby
works with my projects :-)

Fixed rake setup, tested with a fresh JRuby 1.1 ;)

Fixed application_spec.rb on trunk

Yes, nailgun.rb was recently moved to the addon directory.

Should be working now.

Again, thanks for trying Buildr, we welcome any comment or issue you may 
  find, we need more users/developers running Windows ;)
