Hello Denis, 

I know of rjava (using a tcp connection) and rjb (using a jni native 
interface) as far as ruby to java interfacing goes. I have tested rjb and 
found it to work (with some tweaking) as I wanted it to. I don't know about 
the difficulty of these efforts, but now that you have the source, I guess 
duplicating them is a breeze, depending on how much cheating you allow 
yourself to do. 

best regards, kaspar
