I don't know how/if/to what extent/how fast jruby is/will be adapting
ruby1.9 features. If java + swing + ruby18 is okay for you, I would
rather use jruby. There are a few libraries around that make the use
of swing easier. Just yesterday ... E.g. http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org
(I haven't used it myself yet though so I don't know if it's any
good.) IIRC there are more libraries like this around too.
