Switching default jvm

Is it possible to point jruby to a different jvm version? I’m running OS
X with Java SE 6, and would like to have jruby use J2SE 5 instead.

Thanks,
Steven

Look at $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jruby – it’s just a shell script, and near
the beginning you’ll see

JAVA_HOME Must point at your Java Development Kit installation.

FWIW,

On the command line point $JAVA_HOME at the required jvm:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/
Versions/1.5/Home

However on my mac that appears to be a lie! I don’t seem to have
anything pre-6, despite these versions.

Fwiw, I had to get java 5 from leopard, because snow leopard doesn’t
include it:

Thanks for your response, I’ll give that a try.
