For details and downloads go to: http://www.jedit.org/ruby/ Type identification for the method completion popup has been improved based on the feedback I received today. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to add some irb style type identification. Our new method completion technique is unstoppable! ;-) The 0.6.1 release removes the unnecessary "complete method" action hook that was causing people problems in 0.6. The completion popup should appear automatically when you type a '.' after a variable, no need for an action shortcut. Have fun. Feedback is welcome. I'm glad to get this method completion release out the way and to prove to the doubters that type based method completion is possible and hopefully useful in a Ruby editor. If you like what you've seen so far please blog about the jEdit Ruby Editor Plugin or give it a del.icio.us bookmark . Thanks. Cheers, Rob --- 0.6 introduces two major new features that will make you more productive when you write Ruby code, particularly if you are new to Ruby: - Method completion for the Ruby core types via a popup that appears when you type '.' after a variable name. This feature uses the methods you have already called on a variable to guess it's type, and the popup is populated accordingly. - An integrated Ruby documentation viewer (that's modelled after FreeRide's documentation plugin). While selecting a method via the completion popup you can see the corresponding method documentation on the docked documentation viewer.
