Release Notes Summary:Allow JRuby compat-version to be configured via puppetserver.conf
Description
In Puppet Server and the jruby-utils library it uses, JRuby 1.7 has been hardcoded to work in "1.9" MRI Ruby compatibility mode. JRuby 1.7.x supports the ability to run in MRI Ruby emulation version 1.8, 1.9, or 2.0, though.
Eventually, we would like to be able to upgrade Puppet Server to use JRuby 9000, which supports MRI Ruby 2.3. As we still have some blockers in JRuby that are preventing us from being able to do this migration and are seeing an increasing number of newer gems that require 2.0 or greater MRI Ruby version support – see SERVER-1544 – it seems worthwhile to consider making the "compat mode" version externally configurable. This would allow users to at least have an option to try to use MRI Ruby 2.0 features in Puppet Server until it is viable to switch to using JRuby 9000 instead.
This ticket would involve work both in Puppet Server and in the JRuby Utils library.
