> I don't agree with you here. Consider our way of local installation - user runs "gem install foo" and that installs the foo gem into his home directory. But that would only install the MRI version of the gem. For installing JRuby version, the user would be forced to run "jruby /usr/bin/gem" - that is why I would prefer "gem-jruby". As for the "*-jruby" executables, I would vote for providing the "core" ones: "gem-jruby" and "irb-jruby".

Yes, that was exactly why I mentioned that jgem/gem-jruby might be 
candidate for exception ;)

BTW, isn't there for JRuby something like in Rubinius, such as you can 
call "rbx -S rake" to execute rake, so you don't have to specify full 
path to script.
