I'm here to see how small you can get a GlassFish core than can still
run Rails with JRuby. Here's the challenge for you:

- JRuby itself (compressed), including Ruby's standard library, is about
4-5MB.
- Rails libraries (compressed) are about 1.5-1.8MB
- Mongrel (compressed, fast Ruby/Java HTTP server) is 108k

So minus GlassFish, a typical JRuby on Rails developer could get a
server up in under 7MB, all requirements included. If they already have
JRuby, under 2MB.

I'd love to see a GlassFish deployment option that's comparable and
attractive to this.
