Include .java files in the gemspec

[darinwilson]

We wouldn't want to lose our lovely Java hacks in the generated gem file...

Can you write Java files and then just include them in app.files like that?

[darinwilson]

@jamonholmgren Yep - if you have a .java file next to a .rb file of the same name, the contents of the .java file are dumped into the Java class that RM creates for your Ruby class.

This is a necessary evil for cases where bridgesupport does the wrong thing, or if you have to override constructors.

For a moment there, I thought this was the ability to include raw .java. Yes I remember this... it's a necessary evil.

I spoke with Joffrey recently, and he'll be working in a way to include .java files via gradle soon.

[jamonholmgren]

That's interesting, @darinwilson . You can also include other methods, not just constructors?

[darinwilson]

Yep - it can be anything. It's just copied wholesale into the generated Java class.

So, who do you have to know to get a merge around this place? ;)

Sorry Darin.
