We are looking for a better way to handle jar dependencies that does not require the entire ruby-maven gem (plus ruby-maven-libs which is ALL of Maven). I believe the MIMA project is the most likely option right now.

The MIMA library is intended to be a small embeddable Maven resolver with the minimum amount of code necessary to accomplish that.
The tasks we need to be able to do from jar-dependencies include:
- Resolving dependency jars for Ruby gems
- Fetching those jars to a local Maven repository (or other configured location) at install time for those gems
- Resolving and loading those jars at runtime (long with their dependencies) when requested by the gem's code
At the very least I believe MIMA can handle the runtime resolution of libraries. I'm hopeful some combination of MIMA artifacts can help us do all three.

Thanks to @aalmiray for the suggestion of MIMA!
