I should be able to specify what version of JRuby to use about jruby-gradle-plugin

[ysb33r]

Would it not be better to more explicit about it like we do for Groovy compilations, rather than hide it inside JRubyPlugin.groovy ?

@ysb33r I was thinking of setting a reasonable default and allowing it to be overwritten by an extension. I want to make sure that new users require as little configuration as possible, unless they want to tweak things.

I understand the desire, but I think that just specifying something like

dependencies {
  jrubyWar 'org.jruby:ruby-complete:1.7.13'
}

leaves no surprises, as to which jruby version ends up in the war.

That is just my opinion, however to address this issue some inspiration could be drawn from what done in the asciidoctor-gradle-plugin, even though in this case the asciidoctorj jar does not get bundled, only used as part of the build process.

Still maybe project.afterEvaluate might be useful as per AsciidoctorPlugin.groovy.

Having a configurable global version though, will be useful for addressing ISSUE #12.

I think this was resolved by the merge of #14
