You are right. I was mixing up some things I read on another web page [1] regarding building double-clickable binaries for JRuby.

I cloned the rawr repository and tried doing a simple "hello world" packaging, but it doesn't work. I always get a noclassdeffounderror:

I created a simple project with one file named "foo.rb" and put it in the src/ directory. I modified the build_configuration.rb file [2] and created a jar. Running that jar fails.

A simple example showing how to get this to work would be much appreciated.
