I had to develop a ruby logstash plugin recently and I going to recap all necessary steps to create a clean jruby env for development :
- i had to uninstall ruby and install a clean jruby only stack. Not saying that this is necessary but in my case it only worked this way

- Install and compile logstash just to see if everything works. Check out logstash and from inside the directory :
jruby -S gem install rake bundler
rake bootstrap
rake plugin:install-default
bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'
- Now compile the plugin from the plugin folder
bundle install bundle exec rspec # test it gem build logstash-filter-<yourplugin>.gemspec
- Install the plugin gem and test it
bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-<yourplugin>-1.0.0.gem
