Altough there was a bugfix for an older version of middleman to make it compatible to jruby the current alpha version (3.0.0.alpha.4) does not work with jruby.

jruby -S bundle exec middleman server

== The Middleman is loading
ERROR: Guard::Middleman failed to achieve its , exception was:
NotImplementedError: fork is not available on this platform

As far as i could see there is no problem to run middleman build. it's how guard is invoked which causes problems to make it run in the jvm. in a different project it seems, that guard is able to run on jruby. i looked deeper into this problem but sadly i'm not yet that familiar with ruby so it will take a big amount of my time to come up with a solution.
