Description

Nailgun[1] is a tool for running Java programs from the command line without incurring the JVM startup overhead.

JRuby provides two scripts worth looking at: bin/jruby-ng-server bin/jruby-ng. However it seems they arent usable unless the distribution was built with the jruby-nailgun task.
Of course, most JRuby users would have the standard (without nailgun) distribution installed, so we would have to create or own buildr-ng scripts and nailgun client.

Use of Nailgun approach would make running buildr uber-fast !.

As a side note, if we needed to include nailgun jars, Nailgun is distributed under Apache 2 License.
