Excellent! jruby -S rake db:migrate now creates the tables in MySQL. Progress, at long last.

Enjoying success with:

• jruby script/generate scaffold product title: string description: text image_url:string
• jruby script/server
• The basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality works

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Very nice, finally! Appears I now have a functioning ruby. Can now concentrate on web development issues. Sweet.
