Jason, Often you can stuff an environment variable in your own space that defines what you need.
i.e. in ksh or sh (and maybe bash) export JDK_HOME=/full/path/to/jdk Check the RubyMine install instructions. Also, if you're just evaluating you might check out Sun's NetBeans. It's a fairly mature IDE with an active development community behind it.
