The short answer is "not yet".
The long answer is that we will support them soon. Recently we started
work on a compiler called "ruby2java" which can produce normal Java
classes, including annotations and normal Java signatures. It's
somewhat of a prototype right now, but it's proving we'll be able to
support all the standard Java typing constructs soon.
If you'd like to contribute, the code is all in Ruby and located in
this project:
http://kenai.com/projects/ruby2javaOr gem install ruby2java and have a look at the examples. What's there
right now may be enough for you to experiment with. Expect to see more
work on this over the summer.
