Crash with invokeDynamic on MethodMissing attempt

[John Rose]

My first use of git was a couple days ago, to pull jruby from kenai.   
So I'm a git noob.  (Too bad about ruby & mercurial.)

That said, can I have a recipe (script) for pulling, building your  
hacked version of jruby, and then for running your test case(s)?   
(From NetBeans, if possible, so I can dive into the JRuby code and  
start debugging?)

Thanks; this is getting interesting!
