I just wondered if anyone here has spiked anything with JRuby.

We used JRuby internally for access to a 3rd party search library. It works
great for creating and using java objects which may live on your middle
tier. I haven't spiked anything externally, but let me know if you have any
specific questions.

I use it quite a bit, but then again I'm one of the developers :)

Of course, it's unfortunately not going to fit the bill yet for WATiR since
it relies on Win32::OLE which is implemented in C on matzruby, and we don't
have a replacement for JRuby yet.

Other than that, feel free to try it out and send reports over to the JRuby
mailing list!

Nick,

Thanks for the update. Could i use DRB to connect JRuby to a MatzRuby 
process running Watir?

I haven't used DRb on JRuby yet personally, but I've heard reports of some
people using it successfully.  That said, I'll caveat by saying that we have
another limitation of not having a full-fledged implementation of the Ruby
Marshal module.  This is a high priority for us to fix though, because Rails
session persistence depends on it.

A quick search of our JIRA shows some issues open, some closed.
