into Solaris. Proposal and man page are in the case directory.
Minor binding is requested. Timeout on 08/29/2008.

This project proposes to add the JRuby[1] to the SFW consolidation
for delivery on OpenSolaris.
2. Details
2.1 Background and motivation
JRuby is an 100% pure-Java implementation of the Ruby programming language.
JRuby is tightly integrated with Java to allow both to script
any Java class and to embed the interpreter into any Java application.
JRuby is mature and popular. NetBeans IDE[6][7] implements support
for JRuby, so porting this into OpenSolaris may help also
with adoption of NetBeans IDE.
One of OpenSolaris[2][3] targets is to support software development
on Solaris OS. JRuby will supplement the set of development tools for
OpenSolaris.
The most recent version of JRuby at the time of this writing is 1.1.3.
The product was last updated by the community on 2008-06-19. The project
and the community are active; the releases are irregular.
3. Interface table
3.1 Exported Interfaces
NAME STABILITY NOTES
SUNWjruby committed package name
/usr/bin/jruby uncommitted startup script
/usr/jruby uncommitted root directory for JRuby installations
/usr/jruby/[version]
(e.g. /usr/jruby/1.1.3) uncommitted root directory of one JRuby
installation
3.2 Imported Interfaces
NAME STABILITY NOTES
JAVA_HOME committed environment variable (widely used)
4. Documentation
Simple manual pages were created to document the basic functionality of JRuby's
CLI
(jruby command). More help is available via JRuby's CLI.
The manual pages for JRuby are installed in /usr/share/man/man1.
JRuby installation comes with HTML documentation (directory
/usr/jruby/[version]/docs). The other sources of documentation are
JRuby/Ruby web pages[1][8] and books "Ruby Cookbook"[4] and
"Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional"[5].
