x = ServerBootstrap.new()
  .group(NioEventLoopGroup.new(), NioEventLoopGroup.new())
  .channel(NioServerSocketChannel.new().java_class)
  .localAddress(8080)
  .option(ChannelOption::SO_BACKLOG, 100)
  .childOption(ChannelOption::TCP_NODELAY, true)
  .childHandler(MyInitializer.new())
f = x.bind().sync()

# NOTE: crashes because it tries to convert the '100' into a Long on the 'option' line, but option
# expects a java plain integer.

solution:

100.to_java(Java::int)

will defeat jruby boxing/unboxing.

Line 60 should read:

  .option(ChannelOption::SO_BACKLOG, 100.to_java(:int))

I tested it with 4.0.0 alpha 8 jar, and a Java process bound to port 8080.
