Yes, invoking Java APIs is one of the main purposes for JRuby. To use
JRuby from within a Java application you can either use the Bean
Scripting Framework, or just access JRuby directly.

There are a few docs on how to access Java APIs at
<http://jruby.sourceforge.net/>.

Ruby isn't, but JRuby is. :)
