Re: [jruby-user] Reading binary Files

Strange: based on your code, it should warn you that File is already
defined by ruby. "warning: already initialized constant File"

You need to perform at least  a :remove_const on Object prior to any java
class import. Like this:
Object.send(:remove_const,:File) # put this as 1st line

Next error... NameError: no method 'read' for arguments
(org.jruby.RubyString) on Java::JavaIo::FileInputStream
Explanation: your buffer is actually a ruby string, not a byte[]. Possible
fix:
buffer = [].to_java(:byte)

I did not check the rest of HBase related code. Good luck!
