We just updated the 0.9.0 release to include a binary (-bin-) download built with Java 1.4.2. JRuby at a source level supports Java 1.4.x, but I screwed up this release by compiling the binary release against Java 5. So Java 1.4 users can download the file (jruby-bin-jre14-0.9.0.tar.gz) to play with JRuby.

I've posted a series of articles about Java-Ruby integration on my blog (start from here and follow the link backwards). I covered JRuby, RJB and YAJB, plus using XML-RPC and SOAP. The techniques I covered will be the subject of my upcoming OSCON talk

Ruby is cool, no doubt. But not a lot here is new - Jython's been running doing this for Python for years.

There's books and articles online.

The problem with Jython is that development on it has been dormant for 3-4 years and is currently a fair bit out of date with respect to the most recent Python libraries. Recently development on Jython has been revived which is good news but we shall have to wait and see if there is enough of commitment to bring Jython up to date with Python.
