Dear Paul, Walton, Matthew, Mario and Colin, thank you for your very helpful and detailed responses. I also posted on the JRuby mailing list, and like you told me, the line java_arr = ruby_arr.to_java Java::double[] can solve my problem. I am actually trying to use jmatharray for singular value decompositions of matrices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition). Mario, your examples were very enlightening for understanding the communication between JRuby and Java. I had so far managed to use either one of Ruby and Java, but not both together :) Colin, your code also looks very interesting. So far, I am quite happy that I actually can use JRuby and jmatharray together for solving the immediate problem at hand. Thank you very much!
