This project intendes to explore and help define best practices for developing JRuby on Rails webapps that leverage that extensive Java ecosystem. For example, brownfield developments may introduce Rails, but have a large legacy aspect that has no need to be discarded. This legacy code may be exposed via standard mechanisms such as Spring, Servlets, Hibernate, etc. Maven is a widely used project build system for Java and so integration with that ecosystem is also higly desirable.
