Subject: Eclipse Ruby Development Tool

Hello, all.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rubyeclipse/

The code that is in the cvs repository has these features:
* Under Workbench -> Preferences, choose Ruby -> Installed Interpreters. Add
and select your installation.
* Choose File -> New -> Other -> Ruby Project
* Right click on a Ruby Project -> Properties -> Ruby Project Properties.
Here you can select other Ruby Projects that you want to reference. This
will add them to your loadpath.
* Create .rb files in your project. Right click on your .rb -> Properties ->
Execution Arguments. Specify arguments for the Interpreter and the Program.
* Choose .rb file, click on DebugMenu -> Run With -> Ruby Application
Launcher.
* There is a Ruby Resource view that is not useful, but currently displays
only Ruby Projects and .rb files.
* Opening a .rb file will open a Ruby aware editor. There is some keyword
highlighting.

Please note that the projects in CVS are for development. ie, they must be
in an Eclipse workspace that has some other plugins imported as projects. I
plan to change this soon by supplying a downloadable binary that can be
extracted to the plugins directory.

I am initiating an effort to develop a plugin for the Eclipse platform that
will allow the development of Ruby applications. My goal is to learn Ruby
and Eclipse. There is much work to be done. Anyone who is interested in
making this successful, please drop me a note. If you don't like to
communicate with other people, please don't participate.

Happy coding,

Adam Williams
