04:00 <i8her8oat[m]> Is there an <foo.is_a? klass> method but callable in java code on <IRubyObject> ?

04:09 <i8her8oat[m]> just curious

04:41 <headius[m]> I don't have the code in front of me but maybe kindOf?

04:52 <i8her8oat[m]> Exactly what I was looking for! However, there is one problem. I can't seem to find how to create a RubyClass or RubyModule instance from an already defined class in my ruby code and pass it as an argument. Do you have any ideas how I could do this?

04:56 <headius[m]> Ah well it's not super obvious but there's a few ways

04:56 <headius[m]> Simplest might be just evaluating SomeClass.new

04:57 <headius[m]> Otherwise you can get the class object as a RubyClass and call newInstance

04:57 <headius[m]> There nothing specific to do this in the embedding APIs sadly

04:59 <i8her8oat[m]> Oops my bad I talked about getting an instance but I was actually thinking about something like <const_get('name')>

05:00 <headius[m]> Oh you mean the class itself?

05:01 <i8her8oat[m]> Yeah

05:02 <headius[m]> Yeah again evaluating the full path toe the constant like "Foo::Bar" or I think some methods on org.jruby.Ruby

05:02 <headius[m]> We try to encourage people to use the embedding apis but they don't always provide shortcuts for these things

05:03 <i8her8oat[m]> ok nice

14:49 <JasonRogers[m]> Is there a way to get the compiled class to implement the interfaces that the Ruby code includes?

14:53 <JasonRogers[m]> Sorry. Just found the answer with another Google search. Have to use `java_implements` instead of `include`

17:27 <headius[m]> Yeah you got it

17:43 <JasonRogers[m]> Thanks, @head

17:43 <JasonRogers[m]> * Thanks, @headius.

19:29 <headius[m]> ok I don't think I can fix this bug using the JDK System.getenv
