I'm on a job where J2EE WAR/EAR files are deployed on WebSphere 5.1

Clicking through the admin console to update or install an application 
is tiresome, but (hooray!) there are command line and scripting tools 
available.

By default you can script WebSphere admin objects using JACL (TCL in 
Java) and Jython.  Jython's not too bad, but ...

Back in March 2004 someone asked about using Ruby to script WebSphere 
deployment; there were no replies.

Has anything changed since then?

Has anyone found a way to use Ruby or JRuby to make WebSphere admin 
tasks less onerous?

Thanks,


James
