Warning: This is my personal opinion so be prepared to possibly disagree :-) Let's not repeat Java's mistake of non-integration in Ruby/JRuby. In my view, it is already getting awfully complicated with all the extensions and basic addons to JRuby. I say that JDBC, Goldspike, JRuby servlet and other great basic extras should all be integrated in one integrated distribution that we can point developers to (in addition you could add a JRuby-basic download for experts). Besides being easier for ordinary developers, this would also send a more powerful message about the real scope of JRuby's Java support!.
I think this is a good idea and something to set our sights on. We do have a few things to take care of before we get there, but I think it should be possible. Some of the things are: more transparent JDBC support (no need to know jdbc urls, clean integration with Rails config/environment, i.e., no need to modify), more transparent war.rb, etc. Cheers, /Nick
