I just created some simple documentation on this in the last week.
You can find it at http://www.ociweb.com/mark/ActiveR.... This
page also discusses using ActiveRecord from Java through JRuby.

I'm open to any feedback on this page!

ActiveRecord outside of Rails is stunningly easy, especially when
you already have all of your Rails models written. I always end up
writing tons of ruby scripts that populate my Rails database with
loads of test or demo data.

One of the most compelling reasons to use JRuby IMO; getting access
to all of those databases through JDBC that you don't have Ruby adapters
for.
