== About
 
JRuby is the effort to recreate the Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org) interpreter
in Java.
 
The Java version is tightly integrated with Java to allow both to script
any Java class and to embed the interpreter into any Java application. 
See the 'docs' directory for more information.
 
== Run
 
    bin/jruby rubyfile.rb
 
interprets the file 'rubyfile.rb'.
 
== Compiling from source
 
You will need:
 
* JDK 1.5 or greater
* Apache Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/) 1.7 or greater.
 
To compile, just type:
 
    ant
 
This will create a jruby.jar file in the projects 'lib' directory.
 
== Testing
 
In order to run the unit tests, copy the build_lib/junit.jar file to either
$ANT_HOME/lib/junit.jar or ~/.ant/lib/junit.jar.
 
See 'docs/README.test' for more information.
