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.

Prerequisites

  • A Java 7-compatible (or higher) Java development kit (JDK)
  • Maven 3+
  • Apache Ant 1.8+ (see jruby#2236)

Run

bin/jruby rubyfile.rb

interprets the file rubyfile.rb.

If you checked out from the repository or downloaded the source distribution, see the next section to build JRuby first.

Compiling from source

See BUILDING for more information.

Testing

See BUILDING: Developing and Testing for more information.
