I couldn't get jruby to work with Rails 4 without a hack:
In railties/lib/rails/engine.rb, I had to initialize Railties with const_get, otherwise
def railties
@railties ||= self.class.const_get(:Railties).new
# @railties ||= self.class::Railties.new
end
Otherwise I get this:
./bin/rake
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Myapp::Application::Railties

Rails itself won't start up for the same reason. Is this the correct fix or did I mask some underlying problem?
