Issue #17835 has been updated by Justin Honold.

Status changed from Closed to Re-opened

FWIW, the page I linked is the first result returned for a JRuby + Puppet 
search on Google.

I appreciate the doc update.  Can the technical issue also be left open for 
examination, though?  If it's "just" fork, and "just" on the RPM component, 
perhaps it's something that can be addressed without heroic effort.

Is this still a supported platform a la 
http://puppetlabs.com/blog/puppet-2-6-1-released/ ?  MRI 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 both 
work fine.
