I was looking at it a little, but got stuck on the libraries that Buildr 
requires. It is just a few small incompatibilities in the libraries that need 
ironing out. But then Buildr itself uses RJB to run Java applications. The 
shortest path, but maybe not the prettiest, would be to port the RJB API to 
JRuby, to just call the Java code directly. There's only two methods in RJB 
that Buildr uses, one for setting the classpath and one for calling Java 
methods, so it shouldn't be too hard to emulate.
