Follow-up:

I found this piece of code on the JRuby Wiki pages to detect all needed gems:

BUILD_GEMS = %w(warbler rake rcov)
for gem in Gem.loaded_specs.values
  next if BUILD_GEMS.include?(gem.name)
  config.gems[gem.name] = gem.version.version
end

interesting enough this does not include ruby-net-ldap as well. 

So what's so special about this gem?

(Btw: I have tried using jruby-ldap as well, but that broke our code)
