This is a skeleton project showing how to combine these things:

• Rails 3.2.3
• JRuby 1.6.7
• Jetty 8.1.3

plus these development/build tools:

• Warbler 1.3.5 for assembling the rails webapp
• Maven 3 for maintaining additional java dependencies that the Rails app might need, and for assembling the final artifact (tar.gz containing jetty and the web app)

How to use

You'll need jruby, installed e.g. via rvm or rbenv. You also need bundler which can be installed via gem:

gem install bundler

Finally, you'll need maven which comes pre-installed on MacOS X or can be downloaded/installed from here.

Then, clone this repo and run the build:

mvn -Pmake-dist install

This will run bundler (to fetch relevant gems) and warbler (to build the war file), and then maven will build the tar.gz archive and put it into the target folder.
