JRubyWithNailgun

JRuby Nailgun Support

JRuby 1.3.0+ supports execution with Nailgun. Nailgun allows you to start up a single JVM as a background server process and toss it commands from a fast native client almost eliminating JRuby's annoyingly slow start up time. To use Nailgun with JRuby:

1. Download JRuby 1.3.0
2. Start the JRuby nailgun server in the background: jruby --ng-server &
3. You can now run JRuby commands through that server using the jruby --ng command instead of jruby
