I think using such a product would perfectly make sense. It makes
updating the installer for new versions so much easier, since there
are no platform specific installers to target, just one for all.

I've had a good experience using Install4J to build installers for
Limelight. Although I've only used it a little bit, I'm told that
it's among the best installer options for Java.
* You configure Install4J once and it'll pop out installers for
Windows, Mac, and Linux in one build. Quite simple.
* It can optionally bundle a JVM in the installer so clients don't
need to go through a separate install process for Java.
* According to the docs, it can modify environment variables like
the system PATH.
* Install4J is normally REALLY expensive, but it's free for open
source projects. All you'd have to do is mention them (ej
technologies) on the jruby web site.
I've been through it before so I'd be happy to help acquire a
license for JRuby and help build some installers.
