Description

JRuby has an impl of zlib based on a Java port of libzlib called "jzlib". We need to incorporate our version into this gem in some way (in descending order of tight integration):

  • directly merge our extension
  • release our own jruby-zlib gem and a zlib -java gem that avoids shipping the C ext and depends on the JRuby version
  • release a -java version that does nothing on JRuby

We will put together a PR soon.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by comparing the three proposed JRuby integration and packaging approaches, including the existing jzlib implementation; done means one approach is selected and the gem supports JRuby without the current integration ambiguity.
