TOTD #55: How to build GlassFish v3 Gem ?

GlassFish Gem is a light-weight and robust deployment solution for Ruby-on-Rails and Merb applications. The gem can be easily installed as:

gem install glassfish

for any JRuby runtime. Support for other Rack-based frameworks such as Sinatra is coming soon!

This Tip Of The Day (TOTD) explains how to build this gem if you like to understand the internals or hack it out:

svn co https://svn.dev.java.net/svn/glassfish-scripting/trunk/rails/v3/gem gem cd gem mvn -U clean install

And the generated gem is available at:

./target/dependency/glassfish/pkg/glassfish-0.9.0-universal-java.gem

Simple and easy!
