Ahh, yeah, a "Beaner" or something to package up Ruby + JRuby for EE 
stuff. That's a good idea.

I don't have a link to it, since it's more internal discussion at this 
point. Asking on JRuby mailing list would probably produce some 
discussion. I believe the idea is that you would just be able to 
configure a Ruby script or class as the MDB, for example, and GF would 
know how to spin up JRuby and get at it. Sorta like how Spring can wire 
in Ruby components (though Spring still ships JRuby 1.0ish, now 
basically EOLed).
