"unpexpected kEND" with rspec-maven-plugin

[ckayser]

I can't manage to make the rspec samples work and keep getting the following error:
SyntaxError: -e:35: syntax error, unexpected kEND

Might it be coming from the script generated by RSpecMavenTestScriptFactory ?

Here's the full stack:

if you add -Djruby.verbose to your commandline then you will see the java call with all its arguments including the -e bits.

on linux you pom.xml works for me. maybe a windows thing ? too, much escaping in the -e part

maybe https://github.com/torquebox/jruby9-maven-plugins/tree/master/jruby9-exec-maven-plugin is working for you - it just installs gems and you can run the executables from the installed gems.
