Yeah I like jEdit, except I can't get the RubyPlugin to work on this mac because I can't find the right version of java to install - its compiled with some Java thing that's a later version than on my machine. . I look at the sites and its like a guessing game of which is the real one I need to install. I could go installing willy nilly but I am afraid my guessing around is going to break something else. ----------------- From: Hassan Schroeder To: ruby-talk ML Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 6:20:39 PM Subject: Re: ruby IDE's On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 9:09 AM, Garry Freemyer wrote: > Trying to find the correct java for this Mac is a nightmare, of confusion, nothing is clear, everything is ambiguous. I see stuff called J Something 5 that claims to install version 6 of j something and vice versa. While not totally consistent naming-wise, I'm not sure how Java SE 6 64-bit J2SE 5.0 64-bit J2SE 5.0 32-bit J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit is particularly ambiguous :-) And for the sake of discussion I use vi, jEdit and NetBeans for Rails development, but do things like installing gems and running console and server from the command line because it just works. :-) FWIW, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder@gmail.com twitter: @hassan --0-247867092-1248230131=:85267--
