Interesting; I will take another look at JRuby :)

Note, I have been working on BlogBridge (with others) for about 4 years 
now. Initially I had to discover that JNLP wasn't at all reliable and 
that if I sent people to Sun's site to install Java there were shall we 
say very mixed results.

It's rare these days that we hear complaints about BlogBridge that 
relate to a bad Java install. Partially it's the blood sweat and tears 
we devoted in getting BlogBridge's install to be ultra robust, and 
partially it's that it seems that far more of our target users have a 
working Java install.

So I feel your pain as they say :)
