PAC is not easy to run as a developer

[buep]

We know PAC is not as easy to install on Windows, as on Linux and for build servers that could probably be okay as they are automatically created and properly managed. But for developers own machine it seems to difficult. And we do often recommend that the developers have the same tools available on their machines or by other means and the build servers uses.

So maybe this is a reminder on improving Windows compatibility or some other great idea on how to let developers use PAC locally to see what it does before pushing changes?

Can we compile the Ruby package to an executable?

Im gonna try to solve this problem by compiling the ruby code into a single jar with the use of http://jruby.org/. The timeframe for now is small, just to test the waters.

Is this related to figuring out if we can run it as an Atlassian plugin somehow?

Interesting approach by the way - remember to add work log or steps or what-ever here.
