I'm using Passenger right now, not Mongrel, but I'll keep that in mind.

That may be worth trying out, then.  I don't think that was available 
the last time I looked at JRuby seriously.

I'm well aware of that.  I'm not one of them.

If I were doing a multilanguage project, of course I'd try to find an 
IDE that handled them all well.  However, I'm not, which means I get to 
pick an IDE that is best for what I'm working with.  That currently 
means no IDE as such for Rails, and probably (speaking hypothetically) 
Xcode for Objective-C, Eclipse or perhaps NetBeans for Java...

No they're not; in fact, Eclipse and NetBeans both kind of suck as 
editors.  KomodoEdit blows them both out of the water, and I understand 
TextMate blows KomodoEdit out of the water.  No word-wrap in Eclipse or 
NetBeans?  Srsly?  What decade is this? :)

Good to know.  I will be the first to admit that I'm no Java expert, so 
this is very helpful.

Thanks for the advice on JRuby straight from the horse's mouth!
