How Easy Is It To Contribute To JRuby?

Answer: Very Easy!

Get the Code
svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby
cd jruby
ant

Run Your Built JRuby
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/bin
jruby my_script.rb

Install Gems
gem install somegem
OR
jruby -S gem install somegem

Run the Benchmarks
jruby -J-server -O test/bench/bench_method_dispatch.rb
(-J-server uses the "server" JVM and -O disables ObjectSpace)


Build and Test Your Changes
ant clean test
