Using JRuby as a tool for java programming

Anyone have real-world success sto开发者_如何学编程ries, or links to them (blog posts, mailing list threads, etc) where JRuby has been used as a tool for quick prototyping, API exploration, REPL-based debugging, and so forth, in a pure Java project?

I built a small wrapper around some solrj classes (jruby_streaming_update_solr_server) and do all my solr indexing via jruby. I find it easier to write processing routines in ruby than java, and it's so easy to rapidly spit something out, test it, and run it that I'll never go back.
