??vgeny> Build of JRuby requires ant1.7.x (ant1.6.5 has no some tasks) If an Ant update is required, then the version in SFW should be updated rather than introducing another copy.

At the moment JRuby can only see the gems installed with the gem command shipped with JRuby. The gems installed this way will be stored under $JRUBY_HOME/lib/ruby. Also it's bundled on http://jruby.org/ and I see no way how to separate it into different packages. I'm not sure that I understand - is JRuby's "gem" command also called "gem" or something different that distinguishs itself from the standard one? dsc
