During the process I needed to implement a Java interface in JRuby. This sounds really weird to me because Ruby has no need for an interface because of the duck-typing system. The syntax for implementing an interface in JRuby is shown below:</p> <div class="typocode"><pre><code class="typocode_default ">class SomeClass include javax.swing.tree.TreeCellEditor # ... end</code></pre></div> <p>In this case, SomeClass implements TreeCellEditor Java inteface. It uses mix-in like syntax. Prior to the 1.0 release, I believe it used ruby inheritance syntax instead of the current mix-in syntax. That would look even more weird because Ruby doesn't support multiple inheritance and it will be confusing when you are implemneting an interface and extending a class.</p> <p>I don't know about you, but implementing an interface in Ruby still feels weird to me.</p> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:01:00 -0500 urn:uuid:e1ce2781-8c6d-4d17-a3e5-fe0f4ec8fef3 Aaron Feng http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2007/07/12/implementing-interface-in-jruby programming <p>this did not work for me. i tried to implement java.lang.Throwable interface. dont know why... :(</p> <p>buddhika</p> Wed, 21 Nov 2007 23:27:51 -0600 urn:uuid:353e2721-2a6f-4151-a7bc-ee661aefc002 http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2007/07/12/implementing-interface-in-jruby#comment-4149
