I have been running my bsf-called script and a bunch of includes in a jar for quite some time, so at least for specific applications this seems to work fine.
bsf calls init.rb, which adds "./lib" to the include path. I throw all library files my application uses (found via some recursive grep magic...) into "lib" dir under the jar root, and Jruby finds them just fine, preparsed or not (currently not, as there are issues with it). However, I'm of course only running a subset of the standard libs, and like Charles mentioned, there may be others which go nuts. If its not too many libraries and the fix looks easy, it might be worth filing bugs with Ruby. Finding an include through manual file lookup stuff seems like its pretty bad programming practice anyway.
