Yes, you could generate your runtime classes, package them, and add them
to the JRE classpath.

Excellent.
Since the ruby based steps can be added by the user of my product, I
suppose i will have to load the ruby generated classes at runtime and
unlike maven approach the example takes?

Hi,
yes, what you're describing is a typical use case of JBehave, having
the stakeholders (technical or not) write the stories and having the
technical folks code the steps.
The fact that you write the steps in Java or in Ruby/Groovy/Scala is a
detail, because what matters is that they be compilable to bytecode,
i.e. readable from the Java runtime, and that they support Java
annotations. All the rest of the JBehave functionality remains the
same, including the execution and generation of the reports.
JRuby allows this via its java_annotation and java_signature
extensions of Ruby. Using the jruby-maven-plugin the JRuby sources
are compiled to Java.
Have a look at the JRuby example, it should be pretty self-explanatory:

Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

Hi Folks,
I am migrating from robot framework. I am looking for a
particular feature and would like to know if it is possible.
I am trying to create a product for our technical and non
technical staff to write their expectations in (i.e. the use cases
etc).
While it is primarily geared towards non technical staff, there
are going to be some cases when technical people will be writing
their cases and may require to extend and/or introduce new steps.
So the product will contain some standard step definitions and if
someone wants to do more they can write their own step and bundle
it with the test cases. Finally they can run the product and give
input of their steps file (ruby code) and test case file (story)
and the product will execute the story and generate the standard
jbehave style report.
Can you tell me if this is possible?
I say the following in jruby/scala/groovy sections and got
confused? Is it because the annotations are compiletime? (sorry
haven't yet looked at jbehave code).
The Scala classes must be compiled directly into Java bytecode.
