Using the Ruby Dev-Tools plug-in for Eclipse

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-than-one-way-to-skin-an-app dept.

An anonymous reader writes "IBM Developerworks is running an article that introduces using the Ruby Development Tools (RDT) plug-in for Eclipse, which allows Eclipse to become a first-rate Ruby development environment. Ruby developers who want to learn how to use the rich infrastructure of the Eclipse community to support their language will benefit, as will Java developers who are interested in using Ruby."

    Making use of this and the Eclipse RCP, the RadRails is also making a big contribution to the community.

    I think there is a plug in that should scratch just about any itch. Nice.

    Indeed, the Python and Perl plugins are both very nice and from the look of it more featureful than the Ruby plugin at the moment (though I expect it's only a short matter of time before that evens out). I think its more a matter of what languages aren't currently covered? There are apparently plugins for Eiffel and Haskell and Ocaml and SPARK and Scheme (though I can't vouch for quality on any of those) and pretty much anything else you can imagine (given that those were random searches on my part).

    Jedidiah.

    RadRails is an integrated development environment for the Ruby on Rails framework. The goal of this project is to provide Rails developers with everything they need to develop, manage, test and deploy their applications. Features include source control, debugging, WEBrick servers, generator wizards, syntax highlighting, data tools and much much more.

    The RadRails IDE is built on the Eclipse RCP, and includes plugins from RDT and Subclipse. The RadRails tools are also available as Eclipse plugins.

    Uses RDT plus others, and a nice, clean install.
