[jruby-user] Newbie questions: JRuby desktop application

I've scanned through the JRuby FAQ's and Wikis, but I can't find an 
answer to this:
I don't come from the Java world, but rather from the Ruby and C++ world.
How does JRuby work (from an end-user perspective) if I want to create a 
JRuby desktop application?
Which requirements have to be met on the end-user side (I guess a JVM, 
but what version, anything more)?
Can I distribute the same binary regardless of platform (I guess it 
results in a .JAR and this is a Yes)?

Is there any sample available of a downloadable JRuby desktop 
application, so I can take a peek how it works?


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
