Issue with object form constructor by reflection.

[blerins]

Hello,

According to this documentation: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/CallingJavaFromJRuby#constructors
I think this should work:

bruno@dexter:~/workspace/spike/jruby$ jruby --version
jruby 1.7.19 (1.9.3p551) 2015-01-29 20786bd on OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_65-b32 +jit [linux-amd64]
bruno@dexter:~/workspace/spike/jruby$ irb
irb(main):001:0> c = java.awt.Color.java_class.constructor(Java::int, Java::int, Java::int)

irb(main):002:0> color = c.new_instance(10,10,10)
=> #<Java::JavaObject:0x3b625be>
irb(main):003:0> color.to_s
=> "java.awt.Color[r=10,g=10,b=10]"
irb(main):004:0> color.red

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Perhaps you can tell me what you're trying to accomplish? The JavaObject group of classes are largely not recommended and are being phased out. If you need to get at a specific constructor, there are other ways to do it (or we can add better ways).

I was trying to avoid this warning:

irb(main):002:0> java.awt.Color.new(10,10,10)
(irb):2 warning: ambiguous Java methods found, using java.awt.Color(int,int,int)
=> #<Java::JavaAwt::Color:0x4671115f>

there's a fix for this on jruby-1_7 adeb887 it's not 100% perfect (generic) but also avoids a similar (BigInteger ambiguous method) warning that has been irritating on JRuby-OpenSSL for a while ...
