Run the specs with rake spec:ji.

These specs can be run directly, but there's some classpath stuff that will fail.

(interested in trying to tackle this)

should/might be doable with transpec and I've done this sort of thing before. No idea how big the spec files are but seems like a fun little project, I got vacation the week before JRubyConf.EU so this time I might REALLY get to my first JRuby commit.

Go for it! Right now the specs don't run at all with RSpec 3+, so it's pretty annoying when I have that installed.

@PragTob sounds like you're already aware of this (given you mentioned transpec) but in case you're not: our upgrade guide. Please reach out if you run into any difficulties.

@myronmarston did not know the upgrade guide - thanks :) More or less what I'd have done - transpec and co worked beautifully for us over at [shoes4[(https://github.com/shoes/shoes4) :)

been avoiding some of the noizy warnings on jruby-1_7 branch ... was also hoping to review the JI pends

@PragTob in case you're doing it do jruby-1_7 branch instead of master - for less potential conflicts :)

@kares shouldn't it end up on both branches? I don't know how you actually work with that? I thought of starting at one branch and then cherry picking the commit? Sorry never maintained a project with 2 major branches :)

@PragTob jruby-1_7 is merged periodically to master so it will end up there as well (just a hint - if its easier for you to roll of master we can cherry-pick them from there ... although it might be a bit more work)

You would have to travel into the master branch anyways because there are added spec files so it doesn't matter if you cherry pick those changes, I would simply just merge and let it fail, edit the failed files (it looks to me like < 10 would fail -- probably not that much work) and then edit the added files and change them. All in all this project could probably be completed in a few days.
