Hi all!

I have opened an issue in the tracker to investigate establishing a specialized RubyGems platform for JRuby on Android.

https://github.com/ruboto/ruboto/issues/392

The main advantage is that we can release versions of gems that will not be installed on other JRuby platforms than JRuby on Android.

It would also enable a (in my opinion) friendlier Gemfile when we could have a section for the apk gems

platform :dalvik do

gem 'gosu'

end

Only the gems listed in "dalvik" section would be included in the app. The gosu gem for JRuby on Android could the be released as "gosu", but with a "platform" of "dalvik" (or a better name for the platform).
