I was trying to deploy a rails application using glassfish gem. Please
note that the gem works in HK2 mode so looks like some recent change has
caused this regression. Try starting glassfish in HK2 mode, you will get
the same error. Since it is critical for the gem so reported a P1.
Why we can't use Osgi(Felix) mode for gem is discussed in this thread:
http://www.nabble.com/ASMain()-does-not-work--in-OSGi-mode-td18074243.html
On the startup it gives up with the following message:
vivekmz_at_boson(512)> jruby -S glassfish_rails .

I see the same failure when trying to start the latest GlassFish in HK2
mode:
