Some of the other options than using POJ are:

  Scala -- http://scala.epfl.ch/
  Nice  -- http://nice.sourceforge.net/

Both of these are built on the JVM and use the JRE.  With all respect to Ruby, 
I have used both when in a Java environment rather than force Ruby into a 
place where it is best not to go.
