Due to popular demand I have cleaned my latest code, added some API
documentation and released it under

  http://www.thekode.net/ruby/rjni

For the record:

rjni exposes the Java Native Interface to Ruby. This allows the programmer
to instantiate Java objects, manipulate them, etc.. from Ruby.

Note that rjni is not meant to embed Ruby in Java, although it can be
used to ease integration in that case. 

WARNING: THIS IS A TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT EVEN ALPHA
QUALITY AT THE MOMENT AND IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED YET. IT IS ONLY
PROVIDED TO PRESENT THE TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED AND (HOPEFULLY) TO
ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT.
