RVM and Jruby --debug

Ruby JRuby

I posted a Q to Wayne at RVM about Jruby 1.5.3 not coming with
ruby-debug by default and he mentioned that one should be able to
install a ruby-debug-java gem in order to get it working, however a

gem search -r ruby-debug

yields

fluffy-ruby-debug (0.0.2)
ruby-debug (0.10.3, 0.7.5)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3, 0.10.0)
ruby-debug-base19 (0.11.24)
ruby-debug-completion (0.2.0)
ruby-debug-ide (0.4.11)
ruby-debug-ide19 (0.4.12)
ruby-debug-wrapper (0.0.1)
ruby-debug19 (0.11.6)

Is there something I need to do to install ruby-debug with jruby when
i’ve installed it through RVM? Is there a reason why the
ruby-debug-java gem is not listed when I search for it?

Have you read http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/ ?

Ya that’s the way I had installed jruby ruby-debug for previous versions
also, I guess I was just wondering why it wasn’t more automated yet, ie.
why I can’t just gem install ruby-debug when I’m using jruby
