There's not really any way to use JRuby without Java support, because 
JRuby itself is written in Java. There are also a few core libraries 
implemented using Java support. A JRuby without Java binding support 
would be a bit like C Ruby without extension or Kernel#syscall support.

You could, however, take a JRuby distribution and trim out everything 
you don't need. There's probably a lot you could remove and still have a 
functioning interpreter. I'm not sure at what point you'd break 
something you need, however.
