jruby maven plugins and extensions

the plugins and extensions are modeled after jruby-gradle and uses the old jruby maven plugins under the hood but it needs jruby-1.7.19 or newer (including jruby-9.0.0.0 serie).

even though the plugin depends on the old jruby-maven-plugins it has a different version.

general command line switches

to see the java/jruby command the plugin is using (for example with the verify goal)

mvn verify -Djruby.verbose

to quickly pick another jruby version use

mvn verify -Djruby.version=1.7.20
