No, sorry I wasn't very clear. I don't mean the RabbitMQ codegen.py.  
I mean the codegen.rb script in Aman's amqp that parses the AMQP  
specification json document. I'm not sure where the json document  
comes from, maybe you could enlighten me :) It seems to me that the  
Ruby community could do with a reliable repository to get that code  
from rather than lifting it from amqp every time it's needed. It's  
fundamental to anything Ruby that wants to talk AMQP.  I've asked  
Aman and Amos about it, I don't know what  they think yet.

I'm new to the AMQP arena so I'm open to advice and guidance from  
anyone who wants to offer it :)

Thanks for the JRuby project link. I'll take a look.

Regards,

Chris
