JRails is just a drop in replacement for PrototypeHelper in Rails
releases prior to 3.
Rails 3 looks is phasing out PrototypeHelper in favour of UJS. The
goal of UJS is to eliminate all inline Javascript. The end result of
this is that all your favourite javascript generating helpers will be
deprecated. link_to_remote, form_remote_for, link_to_function, and the
rest will be gone.
Yes. a driver file will need to be created for each of mootools,
jquery or any other javascript frame work to use the new :remote =>
true syntax of Rails 3. But they're pretty simple files that don't
change too much from the prototype example that ships with rails
("rails.js").
You can use the new prototype_legacy_helper or a slightly modified
JRails with Rails 3 to restore the old way of doing Javascript in
Rails. But it wouldn't be the Rails 3 way of doing things.
By the time Rails 3 gets a proper release there will be drivers for
all the popular Javascript frameworks.
