ROpenLaszlo is available as a Ruby Gem
The "OpenLaszlo" module that was announced "a few days ago":http://weblog.openlaszlo.org/archives/2006/01/deploying-openlaszlo-applications-with-rake/ is now available as a Ruby gem. This means that installing it on your system is as simple as typing gem install ropenlaszlo — assuming you've already got Ruby and Rubygems.
This means it's easier than ever to write a build or deployment script for a site that includes OpenLaszlo applications. It also paves the way for integrating OpenLaszlo and Rails, as discussed here.
The new home page for the ROpenLaszlo gem is here.

Man that’s fast! I still haven’t had a chance to fully go through your notes from the other day.
BTW - apparently if you say ‘ROpenLaszlo’ out-loud in the presence of others thre is a very good chance they may think you’re doing a really bad Scooby-Doo impression.

Note that to get ROpenLaszlo working (at least on Mac OS X), java needs to be found at /bin/java. If it is not, create a symbolic link to it by executing the following (may vary according to your OS and installation location):
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /bin/java
Setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable might work as well.
