Subject: Re: Looking for a 3D physics engine

JRME is a JRuby-based wrapper around JMonkeyEngine and JMEPhysics
(which use ODE physics engine underneath).

http://kenai.com/projects/jrme

I mostly have been playing with this as a basis for nice demo-candy
for JRuby, but in actuality it is pretty simple to write stuff.   If
you clone this then you can do:

./bin/sample madness (You must have jruby installed and in your path)

...to see a simple game I wrote with it (source is
./samples/madness*).  There are some other samples there as well.
jmephysics_lesson{n} are a basic transcription with some rubification
of the same tutorials for jmephysics.  These should give a good idea
of how the physics stuff works.
