  That could be done:
  For OS X there's the osx-trash gem, for Linux there's the freedesktop specification on where to move files. We could also query the WM for the trash location. It's been a while since I've done any WM programming, but I could look how to do that. For Windows, there are very short Perl or VBscript snippets we could use, executing VBscript from Ruby isn't too bad, I guess.

  Currently I'm getting this:

  Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /Code/redcar/plugins/runnables/New File or /home/delisa/New File
      (repl):1
      file:/home/delisa/.redcar/assets/jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:505:in `mv'
      file:/home/delisa/.redcar/assets/jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1396:in `fu_each_src_dest'
      file:/home/delisa/.redcar/assets/jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1410:in `fu_each_src_dest0'

      file:/home/delisa/.redcar/assets/jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:494:in `mv'
  

  And that's just from calling a mv directly, outside of the trash function.

  FileUtils.mv(
    "/Code/redcar/plugins/runnables/New File",
    "/home/delisa"
  )
  

  I think my problem with the current solution is that I can't delete/move a file across partitions.
  After playing with it for a bit i remembered having the same problem with some Java apps which needed to copy files into my source code partition. I'm not sure its fixable.

  From the Java 6 API (this may or may not be related?):

  File.renameTo "Many aspects of the behavior of this method are inherently platform-dependent: The rename operation might not be able to move a file from one filesystem to another, it might not be atomic, and it might not succeed if a file with the destination abstract pathname already exists. The return value should always be checked to make sure that the rename operation was successful."

  Should be fixed in latest master.
