I just downloaded JRuby 1.0, JRuby as Server or client, Ruby as client
or server, does not matter works out of the box, like charm.
Chris this really should do the trick for you, no?
Something like :
Ruby:
-------
require 'drb'
class MyParams
    attr_reader :value
    def initialize value
      @val = value
   end
end

DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:4646", MyParams.new(
theObjectYouWant2Pass ));

system "jruby... "  ### this might be tricky, use either fork or Threading
sleep 42
DRb.stop_service
=============================================
And in JRuby

require 'drb'
DRb.start_service
incoming = DRbObject.new(nil, "druby://localhost:4646")
object = incoming.value
DRb.stop_service

do whatever you want with value...
