JRuby on Rails 1.2.4

It's official, Rails is now up to version 1.2.4 and JRuby on Rails on Windows is currently busted. See JRUBY-1401, my bug report and patch. Luckily you can fix this in a JRuby install by just applying the patch to pathname.rb in the lib/ruby/1.8 directory, but if you're using Goldspike to make a Rails WAR using jruby-complete-1.*.jar, I'm not sure what you can do. Building the jar from patched source should work, and you might even be able to pull pathname.rb out of the jar, patch it, then update the jar with the patched version.

Jruby on non-Windows platforms is probably fine. Just another reason to switch to Ubuntu or your Linux flavor of choice.
