list-commands is listed as Local command:
-- cut here --
********** Local Commands **********
backup-domain
create-domain
delete-domain
list-commands
list-domains
restore-domain
start-database
start-domain
stop-database
stop-domain
-- cut here --
This should be listed as Remote in that case.

If I configure JRuby 1.1 as JRUBY_HOME then currently no additional
commands are shown. Do you mean a custom JRuby container ?

Only partially cause list-commands is listed as local command ;-) You
need to fix that otherwise it'll give incorrect impressions.

At least I don't see that happening for a standard JRuby distribution.

As said above, list-commands is listed as local so that's a mistake.
