Take a look at jbundler

[PragTob]

It might be worth to take a look at jbundler for packaging up and bundling applicatios with jbundler.

Something that particularly caught my interest from the release notes was this:

• jbundle executable -b bootstrap.rb will pack all gems and jars along with jruby itself and creates an executable jar. use the jruby '1.7.4' declaration inside the Jarfile to determine the jruby version to use for packing - defaults to the jruby used to execute jbundle

what do you think? Can this help us? @wasnotrice
