you can also use JRuby and stick the whole thing in a jar ...

http://spin.atomicobject.com/2008/07/02/rolling-a-jruby-desktop-application

or JRuby + rawr , which can give you Windows binaries , and Linux binaries
..

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rawr/

You can use win32Utils if using Ruby MRI:

http://win32utils.rubyforge.org/

or use a Java service wrapper if using JRuby ...
