Alex,
For Windows, you can piggy back off our new native launcher in JRuby
1.4 by copying jruby.exe to buildr.exe. This effectively does the same
as "jruby -S buildr" would do. The PATH issue is trickier admittedly.
You really need the shebang in the "buildr" script to point to the
copy of JRuby that was bundled, instead of "#!/usr/bin/env jruby".

Hmmmm.... for a start there's two big issues with this distro.
First, if
you already have jruby in your PATH, things get confused and basically
nothing works. Second, there's no buildr.bat so it's pretty useless
for
Windows users. (Unless they are willing to run "jruby -S buildr")
I'll do another take later. Thanks for listening ;)

Hi,
I've created an experimental distribution of Buildr 1.3.5 and JRuby
1.4.0
and made it available at:
http://people.apache.org/~boisvert/buildr-1.3.5-jruby-1.4.0.zip<http://people.apache.org/%7Eboisvert/buildr-1.3.5-jruby-1.4.0.zip

The distro is 15M -- not too bad. I've trimmed the packaged JRuby of
everything I could that didn't affect functionality, such as
documentation
and Ruby 1.9 support.
To use it, simply
1) unzip in a directory,
2) set your PATH to point to the "bin" directory, and
3) run "buildr" as usual.
Looking for feedback on how it works as a quick way to get yourself/
other
people started. If there's enough interest, it could become part
of our
supported distros.
thanks,
alex
