jrubyfx-jarify -ing the demo app (samples/fxml/Demo.rb) produces unusable Demo.jar.

[chrisrgue]

I tried to jarify the Demo example (samples/fxml/Demo.rb) but the resulting Demo.jar file cannot be consumed by "java -jar Demo.jar" due to

LoadError: no such file to load -- classpath:/home/cg/wuala_synced_data/misc/JavaFX_projects/jrubyfx/complex_control

It seems like "complex_control.rb" is NOT attempted to be resolved from the Demo.jar itself (which contains that file) but instead is attempted to be resolved from the current working directory (which happens to be ~/wuala_synced_data/misc/JavaFX_projects/jrubyfx in my case) which apparently does not contain that file !?

By the way: I am using jurby-1.7.9:

cg@cg-TravelMate-6292 ~/wuala_synced_data/misc/JavaFX_projects/jrubyfx $ jruby -v
jruby 1.7.9 (1.9.3p392) 2013-12-06 87b108a on Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.7.0_60-b19 [linux-i386]

I would recommend you to update your jruby. Up to the jruby 1.7.10 there were some problems related with require_relative and File.expand_path that may or may not be related with your problem

I did update my jruby to 1.7.16 and I have a similar problem:

could be that somehow the fxml_root isn't being used and the jar cannot find the fxml?
