Unfortunately we have no support for tk, since it’s a fairly large
native extension to the C implementation of Ruby. It could probably be
implemented using FFI, but nobody has started on that work.

Your best bet for a GUI library in JRuby would probably be to use Swing
(or SWT) and one of the many frameworks that have sprung up around them.
There’s articles on the wiki about them at http://wiki.jruby.org.
