Unfortunately, to call varargs from JRuby (so I just learned from  
irc's #jruby), you have to do this:

   query.add_facet_field(['cat'].to_java :string)

anyway, for our solr-jruby purposes, i think we can stick to using the  
ModifiableSolrParams API instead of SolrQuery, but we still get  
varargs issues.

thankfully Ruby solves this relatively nicely...

   solr = EmbeddedSolrServer.new(container, "core1")
   query = ModifiableSolrParams.new
   def query.abcd(key, values)
     add(key,(values.is_a?(Array) ? values : [values]).to_java(:string))
   end
   query.abcd('q','*:*')
   query.abcd('facet.field',['cat'])
   response = solr.query(query)

We'll just need to sprinkle a little Ruby fairy dust on some of this  
clunky stuff.  It's not all that bad.  But the varargs one is strange  
to me, but I'm sure there is some deep technical reason why that  
support isn't intuitive.
