Glad you like it. Here is how to try it out until I package a more
user-friendly release:

Install jruby and git or msysgit

git clone git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber.git # A little slow - I
need to http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2007/10/7/331471
jruby -S gem install diff-lcs treetop rspec term-ansicolor
cd cucumber
git checkout -b ast
git pull origin ast
cd examples/jbehave
mvn compile jar:jar
jruby ../../bin/cucumber features
jruby ../../bin/cucumber features/trading.feature:5:22 # Only run first and
last scenario

If you're on Windows you won't get coloured output (No ANSI Color support in
terminal from Java AFAIK), but if you have OS X or Linux, try my
magenta colour scheme:
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/console-colours
Also, look at the neat error output if you make any of the steps fail. Use
-b to get full backtrace. --help for more.

I'm planning to do some changes so that JBehave steps can also take Cucumber
table objects as input.
I'm also looking into nailgun to reduce startup overhead (JRuby's Ruby
parser is slow although execution is fast)
