> The latest JRuby's complete jar bundles *GPL jars (JNA and JFFI among others).   It looks like the functionality we depend on -- the shell in particular -- makes use of these dirty jars so they are hard to strip.  They came in because we (I!) just updated our JRuby w/o checking in on what updates contained.  JRuby has been doing this for a while now (1.1.x added the first LGPL).  You have to go all the ways back to the original HBase checkin, HBASE-487, of JRuby -- 1.0.3 -- to get a JRuby w/o *GPL jars.
> Plan is to try and revert our JRuby all the ways down to 1.0.3 before shipping 0.90.0.  Thats what this issue is about.
> We should also look into moving off JRuby in the medium to long-term.  Its kinda awkward sticking on an old version that is no longer supported.  I'll open an issue for that.
