No Martin, that's a valid question. Is there a need for JRuby in S2?
I'm not really the person driving this initiative, it's Richard Burton
with assistance from Charles Nutter (one of the JRuby core developers).
I just provided some S2 technical expertise for them. However, since
Sun employs 2 of the core JRuby developers, I don't think it's going
away any time soon. I think originally we thought we could write S2
actions in JRuby. Since that didn't work out so well, the question
becomes: 'Now what?'

Could you explain your reasoning as to why you need a new framework? If
someone wants a Rails like framework for JRuby, why would they not just
use Rails on JRuby? If you were to make a diverging framework, as you
mention, why would it need to have anything to do with Struts 2? What
parts of the S2 eco-system would you keep? Would trying to make it part
of Struts 2 not preclude you from making full use of JRuby? If you want
to do something Rails-esque on the Java platform then there is already
the fantastic Grails.
Sorry if this sounds negative. I'm just not sure if there really is a
need to try and merge in a new Ruby based framework and S2.
