JRuby Description

Java powered Ruby implementation JRuby is a 100% Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. It is Ruby for the JVM. JRuby is an alternate implementation of the Ruby programming language. It is also an embedded language for the Java Virtual machine (JVM).JRuby provides a complete set of core "builtin" classes and syntax for the Ruby language, as well as most of the Ruby Standard Libraries. The standard libraries are mostly Ruby's own complement of .rb files, but a few of them that depend on C language-based extensions have been reimplemented. Some are still missing, but we hope to implement as many as is feasible.|NOTE: JRuby is released and licensed under the terms of a tri CPL/GPL/LGPL license. Here are some key features of "JRuby": · A 1.8.6 compatible Ruby interpreter written in 100% pure Java · Most builtin Ruby classes provided · Support for interacting with and defining java classes from within ruby · Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) support Requirements: · JDK 1.4 or greater · Apache Ant 1.6.2 or greater What's New in This Release: · Now Compatible with Ruby 1.8.7 · New windows installer · New embedding api · Improved --1.9 support
