The project was Rajah...see:

(Thanks to George Marrows for this link)

I tried to contact the authors to no avail.

A link to the faq on Tcl Blend: http://tcl.activestate.com/faq/java.html

The approach taken by Tcl Blend is the right one for what needs to be done
but I am not quite interested in linking Java-Tcl-Ruby (proposed by
Rajah)...I would prefer Java-Ruby via JNI.

I have spoken to a friend who is a JNI guru...and he believes this could be
a real straightforward thing to do.  All just a matter of code and time ;)
Being on several projects right now (FreeRIDE, Jabber4R, [some unannonced])
I cannot lead this as well...

Is there someone out there who feels the need to scratch this particular
itch?  One can learn a lot from the source code of Tcl Blend.

This would be a really important Ruby extension if it existed!
