Unfortunately JRuby 1.1 changed quite a lot of its API, so updating our support there isn't trivial - in particular given that we need to retain JRuby 1.0 compatibility... Also, JRuby 1.1 requires Java 5, whereas JRuby 1.0 was still compatible with JDK 1.4.

For those reasons, I'm scheduling JRuby 1.1 support for Spring 3.0 (for a milestone this summer); Spring 2.5.x keeps requiring JRuby 0.9 or 1.0.
