Is it possible to ship a gem with jruby.jar in a way that jruby scripts can access the gem? I'd like to do so in a way that doesn't require installing either ruby or jruby.
BTW, googling variants of ruby, gem, and shipping produces useless results.

You need Ruby to install a gem via RubyGems, so I don't see how this could possibly work.

So shipping a Ruby application that uses a gem is impossible?

I wonder if it's possible to write a gem to jar converter.

You said that you want the gem to install without ruby or jruby. Without a ruby interpreter, a gem won't install.
If you already have ruby or jruby, you can use a gem to ship an application.

Sorry for the confusion. I don't want someone to have to separately install Ruby or JRuby. Since JRuby comes in a jar that isn't a problem. I can run a script using just using jruby.jar. What I don't know is how to get such a script to be able to access a gem.

Thanks, I will do that.
