Use JRuby on Rails and XML to supercharge Ajax with a Java Application Server
The Ruby on Rails framework has handy XML features that will make developing with and serving database data in XML format to your JavaScript applications easier than ever. JavaScript also has built-in XML parsing capabilities that make it a snap to receive and parse data in XML format. But what if you now want to hook into Java applications without having to deploy another server? That's where JRuby comes in. JRuby on Rails is the Java implementation of the Ruby on Rails framework and brings the benefits of Rails to Java programming by allowing deployment of Ruby apps to Java application servers. In this tutorial, you'll develop a JRuby on Rails application deployable to a Java application server that will serve database data in XML format to an Ajax client that you'll build for film lovers to manage their online films database. You'll also deploy a couple of Java Server Pages pages on the same Java application server to assist the Ajax client in adding and updating films.

Glimmer - Using Ruby to Build SWT User Interfaces | Javalobby
Glimmer is a JRuby DSL that enables easy and efficient authoring of user-interfaces using the robust platform-independent Eclipse SWT library. Glimmer comes with built-in data-binding support to greatly facilitate synchronizing UI with domain models. The goal of the Glimmer project is to create a JRuby framework on top of Eclipse technologies to enable easy and efficient authoring of desktop applications by taking advantage of the Ruby language.
InfoQ: Kenai: Project Hosting Built on JRuby on Rails
Project Kenai (pronounced Keen-Eye, according to Tim Bray) is a new project hosting platform from Sun. It integrates several source code management systems, forums, mailinglists, issue-tracking systems and wikis. In this regard it's similar to Google Code, RubyForge and SourceForge. GitHub, like Kenai, is built on Ruby on Rails, is currently focussed on hosting git repositories. Sun, as one of the biggest open source supporting companies in the world now also offers a platform, not only for its own projects, but for arbitrary open source projects.
Relevance Blog : Java.next #4: Immutability
This is Part Four of a series of articles on Java.next. In Part Four, I will begin to explore how the Java.next languages (JRuby, Groovy, Clojure, and Scala) deal with concurrency. Concurrency is a big topic, so I will subdivide it, narrowing my focus in this part to how the Java.next languages support immutability.
