Jacob,
That is REALLY cool!
So, for quick one-off tasks, this jruby looks pretty handy. You have full
access to the dspace-api, so you can access database, solr, dspace-objects,
elasticsearch, everything I guess. And its really quick to get running.
i.e. A development cycle (change code, re-run code) is just a few seconds,
rather than 5+ minutes for a full DSpace rebuild.
So for admin tasks, and especially reports, this is perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
