Description

JRuby has a separate native extension for win32ole based on Java JNI and written largely by @enebo.

https://github.com/enebo/jruby-win32ole

We will need to incoporate this into the gem for folks that want to depend on the gem. Our version is a bit out of date but supported most functionality when we last tested it.

Research direction

Review the current win32ole gem's native-extension layout and compare it with the linked jruby-win32ole project. First determine which functionality is supported by the existing version and what integration and testing work the gem requires. Done means JRuby users can depend on the gem with the supported win32ole functionality.
