DSL/Rubyish wrapper for SWT for the use in JRuby?

Question

I came to JRuby from MRI mainly for SWT and Java libraries for the use in desktop development.

With some little experimentation I find that it is usable for my purposes. But it looks like java code written using equivalent ruby syntax.

I looked around for any rubyish wrappers or DSLs on top of SWT. I found glimmer. But I am not sure about the status and it looks to be unmaintained.

What are the other options do I have for SWT using JRuby? And what is your experience with them?

Shoes 4 is the new version of the shoes DSL (Domain Specific Language) for writing GUI applications in ruby.

The reference implementation for Shoes 4 is SWT(Standard Widget Toolkit), which runs on JRuby.

By the feedback given to the answer of: "What's the best/easiest GUI Library for Ruby?" we can say a great gem and has active development
