Plugin for creating JRuby-based web archives

In order to include Java-based dependencies in a `.war` file, declare those
dependencies under the `jrubyWar` configuration, e.g.:

```groovy
dependencies {
    jrubyWar group: 'org.apache.kafka', name: 'kafka_2.9.2', version: '0.8.+'
    jrubyWar group: 'log4j', name: 'log4j', version: '1.2.+', transitive: true
}
```

Dependencies declared under the `jrubyWar` configuration will be copied into
`.war/WEB-INF/libs` when the archive is created.

## Default Tasks

The plugin provides the following tasks:

 * `jrubyWar` - Creates a runnable web archive file in `build/libs` for your
   project.
 * `jrubyClean` - Cleans up the temporary directories that tasks like
   `jrubyWar`- Creates a `war` file


## Creating a .war

A *full* example of this can be found in the
[hellowarld](https://github.com/rtyler/hellowarld) repository.

Configuring the war:

```groovy
buildscript {
    repositories { jcenter() }

    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'com.github.jruby-gradle', name: 'jruby-gradle-war-plugin', version: '0.1.2+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.github.jruby-gradle.war'


dependencies {
    gems 'rubygems:rake:10.0.+'
    gems 'rubygems:colorize:0.7.3'
    gems 'rubygems:sinatra:1.4.5'
}

jrubyWar {
    webInf {
        from 'Rakefile'
        from 'config.ru'
        into('app') { from 'app' }
    }
}
```

The above configuration will copy the contents of `app/`, `Rakefile`, and
`config.ru` into the `WEB-INF/` directory within the `.war` file

Once your application is ready, you can create the `.war` by executing the `jrubyWar` task:

```bash
$ ./gradlew jrubyWar

:processResources UP-TO-DATE

Once the `.war` has been created you can find it in `build/libs` and deploy that into a servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty.
