Are there any ESF editors for ETW and NTW that don't require jRuby (Don't want to install Java Runtime) installed? I'll even take experimental ones.

I was wondering is there any ETW and NTW compatible ESF editors that don't require jRuby. The reason I ask is the installer for jRuby seems to require Java Runtime Environment installed on my system and I refuse to install it because Java is a security risk and a virus trap. I've cleaned several Java viruses off family member and friends computers in the last two years alone. So I was wondering if there is a non java based ESF editor I can use.

Perhaps your going about this all the wrong way?

What anti-virus software are you using?
