The Jruby Container is an extension on top of the jruby-complete library. It enables Different scripting containers to run in isolated home/gemset directories given a container name. (i.e. a container initialized with name test would store its files in .jruby-container/test).
The Jruby Container also provides additional convenience methods for loading dependencies. It is able to fetch gems from rubygems.org via the embedded rubygems library.
##Usage
IsolatedScriptingContainer scriptingContainer = new IsolatedScriptingContainer('test');
scriptingContainer.installGemDependencies([compass:'1.0.1', sass:''])
//Then we can execute stuff with these gems
scriptingContainer.runBinScript('compass',['compile','/path/to/project'] as String[])
Gem dependencies are persisted in a container directory (defaulting to ./.jruby-container). However this can be changed globally via the JrubyContainerConfig or on a container level...
import com.bertramlabs.plugins.jruby.*;
//globally
JrubyContainerConfig.config.containerPath = "/.my-container-path"
//or at container level
IsolatedScriptingContainer scriptingContainer = new IsolatedScriptingContainer('test');
scriptingContainer.initializeEnvironment("/.my-container-path")- Add Convenience methods to clean the container directory for a clean slate scenario
