JRuby Gradle - Bringing Java Power Tools to Ruby

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

jruby-gradle claims to let Ruby and Java live in one build: Gradle plugins resolve gems via ruby gem servlets presented as a Maven repo, compile Java, run JRuby tests, and produce self-contained executable jars that include JRuby complete and run on any JDK 7+ JVM. Builds install gems into a per-project gem isolation under build/ so CI is reproducible. Project is used at Lookout, ships v1.0 and defaults to jruby-9000.
