Anything in new Eclipse for Rubyists?

[jfry]

Hey there, I know that a number of folks on the list use Eclipse as
your Ruby IDE. I know that Eclipse v3.1 just came out
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php

Do any of you have insight into what benefits there are in this release
for someone who is using Eclipse only for Ruby?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff Fry

I do not think if Ruby plugin differs in Eclipse 3.1 version. But I am
sure, Eclipse 3.1 works faster. I starts about 2 times faster than ver 3.0.

I tried multiple times to install the ruby plugin for eclipse 3.1. It's
failing all the time. Anyone made it work?

 

[Chuck Brotman]

Nope! I couldn't get it to work either...=20

If by 'Ruby plugin' you guys mean RDT (Ruby Development Tools) then
it worked fine for me on Eclipse 3.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.1

Yes. It works. Windows XP Pro SP2.

 

[Andreas Habel]

Yes. It works. Windows XP Pro SP2.

I`ve had no problems installing nighlty build 0.6.506270719 (06/28/05)
of rdt on eclips 3.1 on SuSE 9.3 and java build 1.4.2_06-b03.

A few days earlier I tried the same with eclipse 3.0 on Win2k3. I
noticed lots of bugs in syntax highlighting and code folding.
Now everything works fine, thanks to linux, eclipse 3.1 or a fixed rdt??

Regards,
Andreas

There was a patch that was needed for 3.1 to work right. I will try to
get a release for 0.5.0 out with a patch for Eclipse 3.1 out as soon as
I can, perhaps this weekend, or sometime next week...

The RDT (rubyeclipse) team is working on 0.6.0 targeted for Eclipse 3.1
at the moment also, but I can't say we know any expected release dates.

I take it back. There was a patch submitted by Elias Volanakis to help
things work smoothly in 3.1. I can't say if this was for 0.5.0 or 0.6.0
development.

I will run this weekend and see what happens. If I can get something
going with 0.5.0 and 3.1 I will see what can happen. Otherwise continue
to use Eclipse 3.0 with RDT. Thanks,

Zach

I think it is linux. =) Eclipse treats newlines differently on Windows
because of the CRLF, and we are getting this issue fixed, but it depends
on the new parser that RDT uses (JRuby).

Sorry for the late reply...

Did you try running unit tests under RDT?

The latest nightly build should work well w/unit tests. It has worked
with some of my basic tests, Windows 2000 SP3 w/3.1.

Not for me it isn't. I keep getting this error:

C:\ruby\bin\rubyw.exe: No such file or directory -- Program
Files/Eclipse/plugins/org.rubypeople.rdt.testunit_0.6.507280719/ruby/RemoteT
estRunner.rb (LoadError)

I've also tried using the ruby.exe.

I'm running XP Pro, Eclipse 3.1 and the nightly build of RDT.

This has been fixed in latest RDT cvs. It should be fixed in tomorrow's
nightly build. (thanks to David Corbin)
