Great idea. Do you guys have any plans to do a similar site for JRuby gems?

@martinbtt Good point, we personally don’t use JRuby but would hate to see it neglected. Do you think we need another site or could we use tags/some other metadata to split the site up a bit and make it easier to get at the different types of gems?

I reckon just a clone of this site with some JRuby branding / blurb should do it for now.

This is a can of worms. You might need to add 64/32bit and linux distro and jdk vendor version etc etc . Plus all the gems that have c extensions and no java extensions.

Even pure ruby gems can break due to some stufff not implemented in Jruby due to issue in the stack further up …. been there. Nightmare…

Having said all that, some documentation on the whole mess might be nice.
