Re: [jruby-user] How to build from source?

mvn -Pdist

will build the same distribution files you can find on jruby.org for
downloading. the result are stored in maven/jruby-dist/target

if you want to "pick" just jruby from the current source tree, just use

mvn

which basically sets up lib/* in way that you can use jruby from that very
file location like

bin/jruby

after that you might want to in jruby-launcher gem

bin/jruby -S gem install jruby-launcher

which gives you a faster startup for jruby command line execution.
