17:02 <daniel_jruby_que> Hello! User of a lot of production jruby here. Thanks so much to contributors for all your work on this project.

17:05 <daniel_jruby_que> I have a question about jruby and the CLASSPATH environment variable. In Java I can pass the --classpath arg to javac with a file. It seems like for jruby I have to use the env var. Is that correct? And if so, does anyone know a recommended workaround for when the references to the dependency jars in your classpath are larger than the max unix environment variable size, so you get `Argument list too long` from the os?

17:06 <headius[m]> You can use any java flag with JRuby by putting -J in front of it

17:07 <headius[m]> I think for this it would be like -J-classpath -J<jars etc>

17:08 <daniel_jruby_que> Oh! That's promising, thanks!

17:10 <headius[m]> Java 9 and higher can also load arguments from a file...JRuby 9.2.9 ships support for this in the bash script so you just put flags into .jruby.java_opts

17:10 <headius[m]> That may be a good way around the arg list limits

17:14 <daniel_jruby_que> Ah nice! I think I need to upgrade for that then as my understanding is that I'd need the file because arg limits will affect command line args as well

18:40 <annabackiyam[m]> Hi @headius, We are migrating our db from Mysql to Oracle and I'm trying to use activerecord-jdbc-adapter-52.1 and getting argument error similar to the one given here (jruby/activerecord-jdbc-adapter#955) while establishing the connection with adpater as "jdbc". Any workaround for oracle adapters? Appreciate your help.

21:32 <headius[m]> Hello there

21:32 <headius[m]> We recommend using the oracle-enhanced-adapter which supports JRuby

21:33 <headius[m]> We dropped our Oracle support in ar-jdbc because theirs is really solid

21:33 <headius[m]> annabackiyam ^

21:41 <annabackiyam[m]> OK, Gem::ConflictError: Unable to activate activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter-6.0.0, because activerecord-5.2.1 conflicts with activerecord (~> 6.0.0) -- Does that mean I need to upgrade activerecord to 6.0.0?

23:05 <headius[m]> Well you would want to install the one that goes with rails 5.2.1
